Western Frontier • Untamed Pack Ice & Remote Bays

45 upcoming Antarctic expeditions with Bellingshausen Sea on the route, from $12,146.

Filter & compare all 45 departures

The Bellingshausen Sea lies along the Peninsula's remote western flank, crossed by voyages pushing deep below the Antarctic Circle. Few ships come this far: expect heavy ice, marbled seas and a genuine end-of-the-map feeling.

Peter I Island — one of the least-visited places on Earth — and the ice-choked approaches to Marguerite Bay are the landmarks here.

Wildlife you can spot here

Whales & Dolphins

Orca

Black and white apex predator instantly recognizable by its pale eye patches, the orca is the largest of the dolphins and one of the ocean's most capable hunters. Sightings often involve a tight-knit family pod working the ice edge together.

Whales & Dolphins

Fin Whale

The fin whale is the second-longest animal on Earth after the blue whale, reaching up to 27 metres. Its long, slender, countershaded body is most often seen slicing through open water rather than breaching.
