Day 6 - 7: Sea day.
Day 8: South Georgia, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. South Georgia is the second largest and most mountainous subantarctic island. Impressive peaks, up to 3,000 meters high, are part of the Andes from Tierra del Fuego to the Antarctic Peninsula. For ornithologists, South Georgia is a true paradise: nearly 60 bird species live here, with around 30 also breeding on the island. A visit to the historic whaling station Grytviken and the museum is particularly interesting. The simple grave of polar hero Sir Ernest Shackleton commemorates his glorious expeditions. On a visit to Prion Island, one can observe the majestic wandering albatross. King penguins, elephant seals, and fur seals can be seen. One of the largest king penguin colonies in South Georgia breeds on Salisbury Plain.

Day 11: Sea day.
Day 12: South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. The South Orkney Islands rise steeply from the Southern Ocean and offer an impressive sight with their glaciers. The occasional ice-free areas of the islands are covered with mosses, lichens, and Arctic flowers. Despite the inhospitable nature of the island group, various animals such as penguins, Weddell seals, Ross seals, and seabirds populate the area. The island Laurie, which is mostly known due to the resident research station Orcadas, even illustrates that it is possible for humans to live in Antarctica.
Day 13: South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The South Shetland Islands consist of several islands in the west of the Antarctic Peninsula. The landmass is almost entirely made up of glaciers and some volcanoes. The highest mountain in the South Shetland Islands is Mount Irving, reaching 2,300 meters. Some important research stations are located on the islands. During the summer months, more and more visitors come to the islands on cruise ships to observe whales, penguins, and seals.

Day 15: Weddell Sea, Antarctica. On the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula lies the largest of the 14 marginal seas of Antarctica. The best-known inhabitant of the sea is the Weddell seal, which is named after its habitat. The Weddell Sea is particularly interesting for polar marine research because the drifting ice leads to the formation of cold, saltwater bottom water, which greatly influences the temperature and salinity of large parts of the deep sea.
Day 16: Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula is not only popular because of its breathtaking wildlife, but also because of its spectacular landscape with glaciers, icebergs, and fjords. This is why hundreds of people embark on expeditions to Antarctica every year. Antarctica is the windiest spot on Earth and therefore very difficult to reach. However, the peninsula is the only island in Antarctica beyond the southern polar circle and is therefore slightly more favorable in terms of climate than the rest of the continent. Many expedition ships embark on annual trips to the peninsula to see penguins, glaciers, and icebergs.

Day 18: Drake Passage, Antarctica. The "Drake Passage" - located over 100 km south of Cape Horn - is an almost 1,000 km wide sea passage between the South Shetland Islands and the tip of South America. The stormy waterway is named after the English sailor Sir Francis Drake from the 16th century.

Day 20: Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego), Argentina. Ushuaia, the capital of the Argentine part of Tierra del Fuego, was built by convicts. The old prison has become an attraction and therefore a must-visit. The city, considered the southernmost in the world, is located directly on the snow-covered mountains of the Andes and on the Beagle Channel.
