Settling In and the Sneaky Drake: The Bransfield Strait

This narrow passage, situated between the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, is notorious for its rough seas and unpredictable weather. Somehow, this straits noteriety has remained in the shadows of its big brother, the Drake Passage. However, the Bransfield should not be shrugged off. Many travelers opt for a …

Excursions: Port Lockroy & the Penguin Post

In the days following our successful crossing of the Bransfield Strait on to the Antarctic Peninsula, the weather and conditions cleared up for us quite nicely. This allowed for many excursions, both by zodiac and by land. One of the notable landings we were able to experience with the Sea Spirit on our trip was a visit to the well known Port …

The day to day aboard the ship always flows in a similar manner,no matter the time of season you visit. Travelers are …

A Whale of a Tale

Ice is my favorite part of Antarctica. That being said, the Antarctic Inhabitants are truly what make Antarctica special. No trip to Antarctica would be complete without spotting Gentoo Penguins wobbling around their penguin highways, watching humpbacks breeching from the bow of your ship, and observing Weddell Seals basking lazily on small …

Encounters on Land: Of course... the Penguins (and seals!)

There is nothing so exciting as your first shore excursion, knowing that all those little tuxedoed feathered friends await your landing. As the zodiac nears the Antarctic coastline, a chorus of squawks and flapping wings signals the presence of the continent's most iconic residents – the penguins. Species such as the Adélie, …

Whalers Bay | Deception Island: Antarctica's whaling past

On the morning of February26th we woke to a sunny day and the ship approaching an island with vastly different features than continental Antarctica. We were entering the mouth of a circular bay surrounded by exposed rocky craggy mountains and anchored to black sand beaches. On the shore stood historic looking buildings, what appears to be an old …

Adventure Life did an excellent job of planning, organizing and executing a great trip to Argentina. It was nice to have the trip with just the two of us which allowed for a more personable tour with excellent tour guides in all four locations visited. We learned lots of details of the beautiful sites in BA, Mendoza,Baliloche and Iguazu Falls. We want to do another trip with Adventure Life some day.
