Antarktische Halbinsel

Eine Reise in eine Welt der schönen unberührten Landschaften und eine überraschend große Vielfalt an Wildtieren.

Dieses Gebirge setzt sich zumeist unter Wasser fort (Scotia Ridge/Arc) und ragt erst wieder an der Nordspitze der Antarktischen Halbinsel aus dem Wasser heraus. Die Halbinsel besteht aus einer 800 Kilometer (500 Meilen) langen Gebirgskette, deren höchste Gipfel etwa 2.800 Metern (9.186 Fuß) hoch sind, sowie zahlreichen vorgelagerten Inseln. Die Antarktische Halbinsel bietet die beeindruckendsten Landschaften der Antarktis überhaupt, und zudem die größte Tiervielfalt. Besucher klagen nicht selten über Reizüberflutung – allein die Zahl der Eisberge scheint endlos zu sein.

Basecamp Plancius: A True Antarctic Adventure

It was New Year’s Eve, and I was dressed in a full-body penguin suit, making my way to the buffet. We were three days into our cruise aboard the Plancius, and everyone on the ship was celebrating our first day in Antarctica, as well as New Year’s Eve, with a barbecue on the back of the ship.

Plancius - [ ] No tv except for web camera on the ships deck - [ ] WIFI needs improvement; it doesn't work in cabins - [ ] I paid $260 € for Internet access. It is a little frustrating that I paid $1500 more than passengers who bought a ticket days before we left the dock and they got the same type of room as me. That $1500 should have been used to buy internet time or refunded. - [ ] The lounge benches need to be reupholstered. They are covered in pleather. Whereas real leather would last longer and look good. - [ ] The activities were great. It was a once in a lifetime experience. The zodiac drivers knew just where to look for wildlife. - [ ] The food was excellent. Jerrica had a smile on her face constantly. She knew everyone by name. That is a talent! - [ ] The cabin steward was awesome. - [ ] I learned something new from every lecture. The staff who gave the talks were confident and competent. - [ ] I did not like passengers and staff smoking while we were loading the zodiacs; that should be a no smoking area. - [ ] I was happy you sold waterproof pants. - [ ] The barbecue was a pleasant surprise. - [ ] Overall the staff, accommodations, attention to detail, was beyond

With the kayaking.... it is extremely important to have one leader at the front and one 'sweeping' at the back. This didn't happen at all. But both leaders were excellent, friendly, helpful and wonderful. Bewertung lesen

From the first briefing when we were told that plan B was already in operation due to severe weather around the Falklands and S Georgia, taking a passenger to King George Island to be medevacked off the ship, then doing the whole trip in reverse, it was brilliant. The expedition crew certainly new their stuff, their English was excellent ( with one exception) and they certainly got us to every landing and zodiac cruise possible. Even backtracking around South Georgia and a full circumnavigation just to get us to all possible landings was fantastic. Another example - out last day in the Falklands and we were visiting New Island. The plan was North Beach in the morning and South Beach in the afternoon. As we approached North Beach the wind was far too strong for a landing so we didn't stop, and headed straight to South Beach. A great landing had by all and then as we had lunch we went back to North Beach - the wind was reasonable so we could land and had a great last afternoon before sailing back to The cabin stewards were thorough in their work and very friendly. All the crew on the boat were first class, especially getting us on and off the zodiacs. Food fab!

Going to Antarctica was a big big BIG dream of mine - and what can I say, it was magnificent. Antarctica feels so incredible and otherwordly, it's like Drake Passage is a vortex taking you through time and space to another planet or dimension. I chose the "Antarctica - Elephant Island - Weddell Sea - Polar Circle" voyage simply because it was one of the longest ones still in my budget and I have no regrets - I loved seeing different kinds of landscape. All the guides told us that we were incredibly lucky with the weather and the wildlife - but I also know we were lucky because of the passion and expertise of the Oceanwide team. Everyone involved - from the expedition leader and guides to the captain and his officers to the hotel staff - worked tirelessly to give us our best possible experience in Antarctica. I always thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip. It definitely was, but also: I kind of want to go back now... - in the meantime I'll check out Oceanwide's offers in the Arctic.

FAQ

The Antarctic Peninsula follows Coordinated Universal Time -3 (UTC -3). This means that if it is 18:00 UTC-3 (6 p.m.) during your expedition cruise trip to the Antarctic Peninsula , it would be 17:00 (5 p.m.) in New York City, USA and 22:00 (10 p.m.) in London, U.K.

The climate in the Antarctic Peninsula is much milder than most people would imagine because it is located near the most northerly part of Antarctica.

If you travel to the Antarctic Peninsula during January, which is summertime, you can expect an average temperature of 1 to 2 degrees Celsius (33.8 to 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit). June is the coldest part of the year, and the temperature range is typically -20 to -15 degrees Celsius (-4 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit) during this part of the winter. 

Precipitation amounts vary throughout the region. On your voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula you can expect at least some rain on occasion. On the other hand, the interior of Antarctica is similar to a desert in that it only receives an annual precipitation amount of 10 cm (3.93 inches). 

Animal lovers who take their holiday in the Antarctic Peninsula will be treated to a diverse list of wildlife that is especially suited to the area’s cold climate. It is common to encounter several penguin species such as the Gentoo penguins. Other types of wildlife that can be spotted from an Antarctic cruise or an Antarctic Peninsula land expedition include the Weddell seal, the Antarctic shag and Snow petrels.  

The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most beautiful regions of the entire continent. Your cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula will reveal the most diverse mixture of wildlife throughout Antarctica.

The scenery in this region is dramatic, filled with icebergs and of course, very photo-worthy. The prevalence of penguins is a highlight during most expeditions, and a visit during the summer can even reveal plant life such as the area’s only two flowering plants: the Antarctic pearlwart and Antarctic hair grass.   

Unsere Expeditionsleiter tun immer ihr Bestes, um sicherzustellen, dass die Campingaktivität durchgeführt wird, aber manchmal ist dies aufgrund unsicherer Umweltbedingungen unmöglich. Sollte dies der Fall sein, können wir Ihnen Camping auf den Außendecks des Schiffes anbieten.

That depends on whether they only want eclipse photography or also pictures of wildlife and landscapes. Advise the passengers to look at the photography pages on our website. We avoid saying what specific equipment they might need, as this is very subjective, but we do provide general advice based on what our guides bring. We also have a how-to video on the topic of polar photography: Photography Equipment for the Polar Regions >

Facts about

Antarktis-Wetter

Unsere Antarktis-Kreuzfahrten bringen Sie zum kältesten Kontinent der Erde. In Küstennähe jedoch (wo Sie während unserer Antarktis-Kreuzfahrten sein werden) können die Temperaturen an einem sehr heißen Sommertag bis auf +10°C klettern. An einem gewöhnlichen Sommertag müssen Sie mit Temperaturen knapp über dem Gefrierpunkt rechnen.

Sie fragen sich, welche Kleidung Sie mitnehmen sollten? Machen Sie sich keine Sorgen, wir werden Sie mit allen notwendigen Informationen versorgen, damit Sie sich auf Ihrer Reise in die Antarktis wohlfühlen.

Antarktis-Fakten

  • Die Antarktis ist größer als Europa.
  • Da in der Antarktis nur geringe Mengen Niederschlag fallen, wird sie formal als Wüste betrachtet.
  • Der Name "Antarktika" stammt aus dem Griechischen und bedeutet  "dem Norden gegenüber".
  • Mehr als 70% aller Süßwasservorräte der gesamten Erde befinden sich als Eis gespeichert in der Antarktis. Wenn dieses Eis komplett schmelzen würde, würde der Meeresspiegel der Ozeane weltweit um etwa 60 Meter steigen.
  • Die kälteste Temperatur, die jemals direkt an Land gemessen wurde, betrug -89,2°C und wurde am 21. Juli 1983 in der Antarktis aufgezeichnet. Das ist kalt genug, um Stahl brechen zu lassen.
  • Trotz der kalten, scheinbar lebensfeindlichen Bedingungen wurde in der Antarktis die bislang größte „Masse an Lebewesen“ gesichtet – ein 10 Millionen Tonnen schwerer Krill-Schwarm.
  • Die erste aufgezeichnete und bestätigte Sichtung der Antarktis war im Jahr 1820. Es dauerte allerdings noch fast 100 Jahre, bis in 1911 erwiesenermaßen ein Mensch den Kontinent betrat.

Antarktis-Reisen

Eine Antarktis-Kreuzfahrt gibt Ihnen die Gelegenheit, eine Region der Erde zu besuchen, die seit der Zeit als Aristoteles seine Idee einer Terra Australis vorstellte, weitgehend unverändert geblieben ist.

Entdecker können sich auf eine weitgehend ungestörte Tierwelt freuen, deren Vielfalt kaum Wünsche offen lässt. Sie finden dort Überlebenskünstler, die den Kontinent zu ihrem Zuhause gemacht haben - Robben, Wale und vor allem Pinguine.

Unsere Antarktis-Kreuzfahrten bieten Ihnen ein Erlebnis, das sich mit keinem anderen vergleichen lässt. Sie können unsere unterschiedlichen Antarktis-Kreuzfahrten auf der entsprechenden Antarktis-Kreuzfahrten-Seite näher betrachten.
