Península Antártica

Observe los paisajes helados sin fin del continente Antártico

Aquí continúa mayormente como una cresta montañosa submarina, el Arco de Scotia, hasta que se eleva al nivel del mar en la parte norte de la Península Antártica.

La Península consiste en una cadena montañosa de unos 800 kilómetros (500 millas) de largo, los picos más altos se elevan a aproximadamente unos 2.800 metros (9.186 pies), y numerosas islas adyacentes. La Península ofrece el escenario más dramático y la más amplia variedad de vida silvestre en la Antártida. Los visitantes son fácilmente abrumados por la sobrecarga sensorial de la enorme cantidad de témpanos.

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.

por Lucinda Roenicke
The 23 day trip on the Hondius was better than I ever could have imagined. Every day was filled with views, wildlife and wonderful presentations. The team (guides, crew, service, etc) were all friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The ship was extremely comfortable, the food delicious and plentiful and the excursions were fun and informative. The lead guide, Pippa, checked weather daily and made educated decisions with the captain on where we should head. Everyday we were not at sea we had an excursion! The guides were all well educated and gave presentation on history, animals, geology and more. It was great learning about what we were seeing. I highly recommend this trip, Oceanwide and The Hondius !

De reis met de Hondius van Oceanwide is een echte aanrader. Het personeel en de staff doen er alles aan om het naar je zin te maken. Het was een onvergetelijke reis. Als je van plan bent om deze reis te maken is Oceanwide wel een van de beste. Leer reseña completa

I took a Deep South (Antarctic Circle) Expedition with Oceanwide earlier this year and the experience could not have been better! Not only did we have a dream trip in terms of weather, activities and wildlife spotting - making numerous stops and zodiac trips every day and meeting all of our trip objectives thanks to the amazing work of the Captain and Expedition Team, who continually altered our plans to make sure the ship was in the best position to take advantage of the conditions - but the entire atmosphere and energy on the boat was amazingly welcoming and fun. I just have to highlight how incredible the entire Oceanwide staff/crew is. Not only are they super knowledgeable, they are incredibly friendly. Everyone, from the guides to the bridge team to the housekeeping and galley staff, is happy to welcome you on board and into the Plancius/Oceanwide family. The kitchen staff knew all of our names by day 2! And they were amazing at dealing with dietary restrictions and preferences. The guides and bridge staff were likewise happy to mingle, chat and answer any questions (even ones for which they had to look up the answers)! A wonderful experience overall! Leer reseña completa

My 11-day Antarctic expedition was outstanding from start to finish. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and professional. The food was delicious. The M/V Plancius was quiet, well-appointed, and just the right size. The crew did an amazing job making sure we experienced as much as possible whenever possible, and I would absolutely take this trip again and again. My only regret is that I'm not an expert in Antarctic/Arctic wildlife or climate so I can't get a job with Oceanwide as an expedition staff member ;) Leer reseña completa

The perfect ship (Plancius!) The perfect staff and crew! Service was excellent, the crew's commitment to safety measures cannot be over emphasized, commitment to keeping Antarctica pristine is beyond admirable. There several options for Antarctic cruises, but the Basecamp tour was perfection. This was no drive-by cruise! Opportunities twice a day for landings, Zodiac cruises, kayaking, snowshoeing, mountaineering and even overnight camping! Wildlife abounds! Humpback whales that visit the ship! Penguins diving off icebergs! Leopard seals yawing in your face! It is an understatement to say that this was the trip of a lifetime. Leer reseña completa

Preguntas frecuentes

La Península Antártica sigue el Tiempo Universal Coordinado -3 (UTC -3). Esto significa que si se trata de las 18:00 UTC-3 (6 PM) durante su crucero de expedición a la Península Antártica, sería las 17:00 (5 PM) en la ciudad de Nueva York, EE.UU. y las 22:00 (10 PM) en Londres, Reino Unido.

El clima en la Península Antártica es mucho más suave de lo que la gente se imaginaría porque se encuentra en la parte más al norte de la Antártida.

Si usted viaja a la Península Antártica en enero, que es verano, puede esperar una temperatura promedio de 1 a 2 grados Celsius (33,8 a 35,6 grados Fahrenheit). Junio es la parte más fría del año, y en esta época la temperatura normalmente ronda los -20 a -15 grados Celsius (-4 a -5 grados Fahrenheit).

Las precipitaciones varían a lo largo de la región. En su viaje a la Península Antártica puede esperar al menos un poco de lluvia en algunas ocasiones. Por otro lado, el interior de la Antártida es similar a un desierto en que sólo recibe una cantidad de precipitación anual de 10 cm (3.93 pulgadas).

Los amantes de los animales que toman sus vacaciones en la Península Antártica podrán disfrutar de una variada lista de fauna que está especialmente adaptada al clima frío de la zona. Es común encontrar varias especies de pingüinos tales como los pingüinos papúa o de vincha. Otro tipo de fauna que se pueden observar desde un crucero o una expedición en tierra a la Península Antártica incluyen a la foca de Weddell, el cormorán antártico y petreles blancos.

La Península Antártica es una de las regiones más hermosas del continente. Su crucero a la Península Antártica le revelará la combinación más diversa de fauna a lo largo de la Antártida.

El paisaje en esta región es dramático, lleno de témpanos, y por supuesto, ideal para sacar fotografías. El predominio de pingüinos se destaca durante casi todas las expediciones, y una visita durante el verano puede revelar la vida vegetal, tales como las dos únicas plantas con flores de la zona: el clavel antártico y el pasto antártico.

Nuestros jefes de expedición siempre hacen todo lo posible para que la actividad de acampada se lleve a cabo, pero a veces esto es imposible debido a condiciones ambientales inseguras. En ese caso, podemos ofrecerle acampar en las cubiertas exteriores del barco.

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 >
