Experience one of the most scenic areas in Antarctica when you visit the Lemaire Channel on your expedition cruise to 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 that litter the ocean as it flows through the mountainous, narrow sides of the channel. Passing through here is a highlight of many Antarctica cruises, following a journey through the legendary Drake Passage and maybe a visit to the Shetland Islands. Keep your eyes open as you pass through these icy waters, as you are likely to see seals and majestic whales! Let us know when you're ready to start planning your trip to Antarctica and the Lemaire Channel.
