Welcome to Aurora Expeditions’ Antarctic Explorer featuring the Chilean Fjords Fly/Sail expedition.
Early Antarctic explorers returned with stories of a magnificent, ice-covered land filled with vibrant life. As you immerse yourself in the Antarctic Peninsula, you’ll witness glaciers tumbling into the sea. Moreover, penguins stand dwarfed by towering peaks while humpback and minke whales feast on krill. This voyage also takes you through the stunning Chilean Fjords, where towering mountains frame channels.
