South Orkney Islands

Over 85 percent of these remote and rugged islands are glaciated, hence the name "Inaccessible Islands." Conditions permitting, visit Orcadas, the oldest continuously-manned research station in Antarctica, located on Laurie Island. Native birds such as Snow and Cape petrels, Blue-eyed shags and Kelp gulls nest in the cliffs, and thousands of penguins await.
