306 upcoming Antarctic expeditions with King George Island on the route, from $5,995 per person.
King George Island is the South Shetlands' largest island and Antarctica's transport hub: fly-cruise passengers land on its gravel airstrip after a two-hour flight from Punta Arenas, skipping the Drake Passage entirely.
The island hosts research stations from a dozen nations, plus gentoo and chinstrap colonies and elephant seal wallows within Zodiac reach.

Wildlife
A stocky, orange-billed penguin of the genus Pygoscelis, closest kin to the Adélie and Chinstrap. Its loud, trumpeting call, delivered with head thrown back, carries across the shoreline colonies where expedition landings are made.
