Featured Journey

Antarctica and the Falkland Islands
From $7,700, including air from Miami February 2-18, 2004
We are honored to have UConn's Richard Wolak as host and member of the select team of polar historians, ornithologists, and marine biologists as we visit one of the last truly pristine regions on Earth, the Antarctic Peninsula.

Professor Wolak worked 10 seasons with the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) at Antarctic stations and aboard polar vessels. His experience includes a year-long stay at the Geographic South Pole, a month of camping in the Mars-like Dry Valleys region, and four years as project manager of the National Science Foundation's research system. USAP recognized Professor Wolak's contributions by the naming of "Wolak Peak," located among the Trans-Antarctic Mountains of Victoria Land.

From Miami fly to Chile for a day in the vibrant city of Santiago. Then on to Port Stanley to board the 122-passenger Clipper Adventurer. Stop on the rarely visited islands of Westpoint and Carcass, cruise the Scotia Sea to Elephant Island and spend six days cruising the waters of the Antarctic Peninsula, making several landings each day. After crossing the Drake Passage to Cape Horn, you will enjoy two nights in fabulous Buenos Aires.
