Across the Antarctic Circle
A 13-day round trip from Ushuaia aboard the Sylvia Earle that pushes south of the Antarctic Circle, a milestone few travelers reach, celebrated with a toast on deck. Below the Circle come great swathes of pack ice, dreamlike icebergs and a more isolated Antarctica, with daily Zodiac cruises and landings among penguin rookeries.
