Knowing More About Antarctic Cruises From Ushuaia

By Daphne Bowen


Ushuaia is known to be one of the most beautiful resort towns in Argentina and would even provide expeditions to antarctica. If one would want to go on a vacation to see this icy region, then what other way is there to go than on an adventurous ship. Before one would embark on this cruise journey, here are some things that he should know about Antarctic cruises from Ushuaia.

Now before going to the cruise, first take a look at the beautiful resort town found in Argentina. Now this is one of the towns in Argentina that would have a lot of nature to show to the tourists and a lot of beautiful infrastructure. The town would give an old town feel to it like one has stepped back in time.

Now after a time of relaxing in the town, the next thing to do is to embark on the journey to the frozen lands. The journey starts off in the harbor wherein one would be boarding a cruise ship that would go all the way to Antarctica. Now just to give people an idea, some places that one may visit would be South Orkney Islands or the South Shetland Islands among others.

Due to regulations on traveling and tourism, big ships are not allowed to sail into Antarctica anymore due to the dangers of crashing into icebergs so smaller ships can sail in. Most of these ships can only house two hundred passengers and would not dock anywhere in the frozen islands. They would most likely just sail around the area so that the tourists may have an eyeful.

Now for the first timers out there, do not expect to see any scenery out there. This area is one of the most untouched areas in the world because it is icy cold there and not conducive for people to live in. However, there are a lot of icy structures that one can see like a lot of ice caverns as well as icebergs that come in all different shapes and sizes.

Now if one would go further into the area, he will see a lot of wildlife as well. There are in fact, a lot of interesting species of whales here that have evolved a bit due to adaptation to the land. Now there are also a lot of walruses and different species of seals that may be found here.

Some other cool animals that one may see here would be the polar bears which are known to thrive in cold weather. There would also be a colony of penguins that can be seen marching about in the islands. For some historical landmarks, one may see a few historical huts and igloos here that are not inhabited.

So basically those are some of the things that one may see when he would go on this type of cruise. If one is into adventure into the unknown places, then this is the type of vacation for him. There are so many places in here to explore that have been left untouched by the outside world.
