Gerlache Strait

Dividing the Palmer Archipelago and the Antarctic Peninsula, the Gerlache Strait is a sprawling waterway, known for its surreal beauty. The spectacularly stark scenery features distant snow-capped mountains, spiky blue icebergs, and remarkably impressive glacial landscapes. Visitors can look forward to spotting penguins waddling and sliding on vast sheets of ice, catching a glimpse of humpback whales breaching in the arctic waters, viewing the abandoned Norwegian ghost ship in Gouvernoren Harbour, and simply soaking up the awe-inspiring views on one of the many expeditions and cruises meandering through this scenic channel.
