Antarctica and the Falklands

December 2004 to January 2005


We flew to Santiago, Chile and on to Ushuaia, Argentina and boarded the Clipper Adventurer, our 108-passenger, ice-strengthened home for nearly three weeks.  We traveled to the Falkland Islands, crossed the Drake Passage to Antarctica for the experience of a lifetime with amazing scenery and wildlife.
