Regional Considerations
- Weather always influences Antarctic itineraries, especially those including a flight to or from Antarctica. Itineraries will all be contingent on safe and amenable weather conditions.
- Whale watching is at its prime in early March. The species you can see in Antarctica include orcas, blue whales, Southern right whales, sperm whales, and humpbacks.
- Penguin spotting is best in late November and December. Seven species make their homes and breeding nests on the continent and its surrounding islands.
- Plan to spend at least three to four days in Chile and/or Argentina before and after your trips to allow for delays and complicated departure and flight schedules. Ker & Downey recommends incorporating Antarctica into a flexible itinerary with a relaxed pace.
