Witness one of the most scenic areas of Antarctica when you visit the Lemaire Channel on your expedition cruise of the White Continent! Nicknamed the "Kodak Gap" for its scenic beauty that begs to be captured on camera, you will marvel at the sea of icebergs littering the ocean as it rises into the mountainous, narrow sides of the channel. Passing through here is a highlight of Antarctica cruises for many, following a journey across the legendary Drake Passage and maybe a visit to the Shetland Islands. Keep your eyes open as you pass through these icy waters because you are likely to see seals and majestic whales! Let us know when you're ready to start planning your journey to Antarctica and the Lemaire Channel.
