Antarctica, Falkland Islands & South Georgia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia together form one of the most dramatic expedition routes on Earth, stretching across the remote South Atlantic and Southern Ocean. Antarctica is the world's southernmost continent, renowned for its vast ice shelves, towering icebergs, and extraordinary wildlife including penguins, leopard seals, and humpback whales. South Georgia is a breathtaking sub-Antarctic island famous for its enormous king penguin colonies and as the site of Ernest Shackleton's legendary survival story, while the Falkland Islands offer rugged, wind-swept landscapes, diverse seabird populations, and a unique blend of British culture at the edge of Patagonia. Travellers making this journey typically do so by expedition ship, drawn by the raw wilderness, near-untouched ecosystems, and the sheer scale of one of the planet's last great frontiers.

Self-Launched Epic Antarctica: Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctic Circle Crossing

This self-launched equivalent of Exodus Travels' Epic Antarctica voyage covers all the same iconic destinations — Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, the Antarctic Peninsula and the Antarctic Circle — but booked independently. The key difference: instead of booking through a tour operator at a premium mark-up, you book your expedition cruise berth directly with a polar cruise operator (such as Quark Expeditions, HX Hurtigruten Expeditions, or Aurora Expeditions), arrange your own Buenos Aires hotel, and handle your own Buenos Aires–Ushuaia flights. The expedition ship, all meals aboard, Zodiac excursions, and expert expedition staff are all inherent to any reputable polar cruise, so the core Antarctic experience remains identical. Savings come from cutting out the tour operator's margin, booking flights independently, and choosing budget accommodation in Buenos Aires. All costs are approximate estimates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Antarctica, Falkland Islands & South Georgia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
