Mark’s Antarctic 1200k

A joint venture with our friends at Antarctic Randonneurs.

Mark’s missing 1200k.  Cross the Drake Passage.   Ride among fur seals and gentoo and chinstrap penguins—and their newly hatched chicks. As you continue into the realm of ice, encounter playful Adélie penguins and unusual marine life. In this hushed and magical atmosphere, find yourself cruising past tabular icebergs, ice floes where Weddell seals loll after their meal, and sculpted ice that glows ethereal shades of turquoise and teal. Along the way, experience the history of Antarctic exploration, from Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated expedition to the ventures of explorers such as Jean-Baptiste Charcot and Adrien de Gerlache.
