South Georgia and Falkland Islands

Submitted by chimuadmin on Wed, 12/05/2018 - 06:37

South Georgia and the Falkland Islands are completely remote and magical destinations, rich in diverse wildlife and history. Many longer Antarctic cruises will visit the Antarctic Peninsula along with South Georgia and the Falklands. However, some cruises visit without including Antarctica, ideal for travelers who have already been to the Peninsula and are seeking something new.

American and Canadian travelers seeking a remote, rugged, and wildlife-rich destination may love the idea of a South Georgia and Falkland Islands cruise.

Deep inside the Arctic Circle lies the remote and rugged Svalbard archipelago, the final strip of land separating Norway from the North Pole. With its stark but beautiful landscape of glaciers, fjords, jagged snow-capped mountains and frozen tundra, this is the land of the polar bear and the midnight sun. Remote and untouched, the ‘wildlife capital of the Arctic’ is home to Svalbard reindeer, Arctic foxes, colonies of walruses, whales, seals, thousands of migratory seabirds nesting on coastal cliffs and in excess of 3,000 polar bears.

Unique, spectacular and dramatically beautiful, Greenland is dominated by a vast ice cap that covers 80% of the island. It is the largest non-continental island in the world, lying almost entirely within the Arctic Circle. Greenland’s waters are strewn with icebergs, sometimes turquoise and sometimes beautifully sculpted. Glaciers are prolific and the coast is lined with fjords. For wildlife enthusiasts, Greenland will not disappoint as it is home to polar bears, musk oxen, reindeer, walruses, whales, seals and sea eagles.
