The
Aerovias DAP Antarctic Expedition begins prior to our trip; through
a specialized debriefing session we indicate the characteristics of
the flight, the places we will be visiting, the recommendations for
our safety, and the necessary steps to take in order to protect this
ecosystem.
During the flight, we will be crossing the Strait of Magellan and continue over Tierra del Fuego Island, the Darwin Mountains and its glaciers. Only Islands will compose the landscape until we reach Cape Horn and the last rocks of the American continent. The first explorer disembarking on King George Island in 1819 was the British sailor William Smith. Unlike Smith, Scott, Palmer, Shackelton and other expeditionaries who had to face the roughness of the Drake sea for several days, you will arrive at the Antarctic airport of Frei Base at King George Island, after a pleasant three and a half hours flight. After arrival, we will visit the establishments of Villa Las Estrellas, as well as the wild fauna, glaciers and other attractions offered by this place.
Baleen whales, Orcas or Killer Whales,
Sea Lions, Weddel Seals, Antarctic Seals and Penguins compose the fauna,
which feeds on the Antarctic's rich waters. The famous Adelie penguins
are the main species, but you will also see the Papua Penguins, Antarctic
Penguins and many other kinds. Of all these species the most feasible
to see in our visit are the different varieties of Penguins, Sea Lions
and the Weddell Seals.
Frei Base was, established in 1980 under the name of Teniente Rodolfo Marsh, along with Presidente Frei Meteorological Center, inaugurated in 1969, it is one of the main meteorological and navigational stations in the Antarctic.
The scenery, fauna and marine life are the main attractions for the tourist; this place is one of the few in the world that has remained untouched by men, this is why it constitutes one of mankind's most important biosphere reserves.To comply with the strict rules and regulations of environmental preservation, AEROVIAS DAP S.A. had to submit this expedition project for an evaluation by the Comision Nacional del Medio Ambiente (National Environmental Commission), resulting in approval of the project. You are a part of that effort !
