“Indrukwekkend, fantasierijk, bovenaards: dit is het einde van de wereld, echt waar. Deze gedenkwaardige havenstad ligt op het zuidelijkste puntje van Argentinië, en in het ongerepte en torenhoge Martial-gebergte. Toegang wordt verkregen via het pittoreske Beaglekanaal (dat werd vernoemd naar het beroemde schip van Darwin). Ushuaia is de hoofdstad van de regio Tierra del Fuego, dat het best kan worden omschreven als een spectaculaire verzameling van superlatieve natuurlijke wonderen. Het is een ware caleidoscoop van glinsterende gletsjers, met sneeuw bedekte bergen, dichte bossen, sprankelende meren en winderige vlaktes verspreid over een archipel van ruige eilanden.
De stad zelf is een doolhof van straatjes met lage gebouwen die allemaal samen lijken te komen in het centrum, de haven. De afgelegen plek werd opgericht in 1884 en verwelkomde missionarissen, goudzoekers en marine-officieren voordat het voornamelijk bekend werd als een strafkolonie. Na de sluiting onder de beruchte Argentijnse leider Juan Perón, werd de grote gevangenis opnieuw ingericht om een van de populairste musea van de stad te huisvesten. Andere hedendaagse bezienswaardigheden in de stad zijn onder andere een zeevaartmuseum en een museum gewijd aan de natuurlijke geschiedenis van de regio, maar ook restaurants die een uitzonderlijk gerecht bereiden, lokale koningskrab.”

PONANT invites you to board Le Commandant-Charcot, for a 15-day exploration cruise that is as original as it is spectacular, in order to observe a total eclipse of the Sun from the Weddell Sea ice pack. This cruise in the heart of the great White Continent will also be an opportunity to discover the eastern part of the Weddell Sea, unexplored and totally unknown to this day, as well as the imposing Larsen ice shelves.
From Ushuaia, your ship will first set course for the Weddell Sea ice pack, located in the only area in the world where the solar eclipse will be 100% visible. You will land on the immaculate and sparkling ice pack and enjoy, from the thick ice layer, a unique and privileged setting for a magnificent observation of a total solar eclipse. In this region beyond the polar circle where the sun never quite sets, the full night will surround you to fully experience a few magical and suspended moments.
The Weddell Sea could be described as extreme and captivating, mostly frozen by a thick and compressed ice floe. It is a challenge and a privilege to sail on it, with its promise of exceptional landscapes and original encounters. As you advance across this immense polar expanse, you will enter an infinite ice desert, a world of silence where there is nothing but calm and serenity.
You will reach the northern part of the Antarctic Peninsula, a landmark in the history of polar exploration. To the north-west of the Weddell Sea, stretching along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, stands the imposing ice barrier formed by the Larsen platforms. An extension of the ice sheet onto the sea, this white giant is equally disturbing and fascinating, if only due to its colossal dimensions and the impressive table top icebergs – amongst the largest ever seen – that it generates.
This voyage will be an opportunity to come as close as possible to the Weddell Sea and the Antarctic Peninsula, a real refuge for wildlife. So, you may have the privilege of observing some of the Weddell seals, crabeater seals and leopard seals, Adelie penguins, papuan and chinstrap penguins, humpback whales, sea birds.
We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the IAATO.
