Today, Ushuaia, a former Argentine penal colony, serves as your gateway to this wilderness where snow-capped mountains plummet to the icy waters of the Beagle Channel. In the late 19th century, Reverend Thomas Bridges ... ### Day 8: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 9: Antarctic Peninsula **Arrives:** 11:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM The most isolated continent on Earth, Antarctica is home to massive icebergs, majestic mountain ranges and diverse wildlife in a wilderness setting that has a purity as inspiring as it is remote.
