This Art Safari / Peregrine Adventures journey takes us to some awe inspiring destinations. Sailing aboard the well-appointed Peregrine expedition vessel, we see Antarctic nature in all its glory. With visits along the way to the Falklands and South Georgia, through the South Shetland Islands we arrive on the mainland Antarctic Peninsula and are dazzled by perhaps the most dramatic scenery to be found anywhere on earth.

These areas boast an extraordinary abundance of wildlife, including five seal species and massive penguin rookeries of gentoo, adelies and chinstraps as well as a profusion of seabirds from albatross to skuas. Painting on our excursions and from the boats, we will aim to capture whales cresting waves, penguins with their chicks, icebergs and glaciers and an impression of the quiet world.

• 18 nights onboard the Peregrine Ioffe, sailing out of the Beagle Channel and across to the Falklands and South Georgia, then down to the South Shetland Islands to explore the Antarctic Peninsula and return to Ushuaia across the Drake Passage.
