Shackleton Odyssey

This innovative itinerary retraces Shackleton’s voyage from the northern Weddell Sea, past Elephant Island and across the Scotia Sea to the south-western side of South Georgia. In effect it is the reverse of our South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula voyage with an extra day. On this voyage, a small band of adventurous souls will attempt to repeat the arduous crossing in three to four days; an exhilirating conclusion to a voyage dedicated to Shackleton’s heroic Antarctic exploration.
