By Daphne Bowen


Ushuaia is known to be one of the most beautiful resort towns in Argentina and would even provide expeditions to antarctica. If one would want to go on a vacation to see this icy region, then what other way is there to go than on an adventurous ship. Before one would embark on this cruise journey, here are some things that he should know about Antarctic cruises from Ushuaia.

Of course before embarking on the cruise, it is good to first enjoy and relax in the beautiful town of Ushuaia. Now this town can be found in Argentina and is one of the most untouched towns in the entire country. It is known for its very quaint ambiance that would make one feel like he has traveled back into the past.

Now in the town would be the Ushuaia harbor which is the start of the journey all the way to the Antarctic regions. The harbor would have all the cruise ships there that would be sailing all the way to the frosty ice lands. Some of the places in the region that people can be visiting would be the South Orkney Islands or the Shetland Islands.

Of course only small ships are now allowed to go into this land because of some regulations set by the tourism board because of accidents of big ships. So most ships would only house two hundred tourists at a time and would most likely not land anywhere in the continent. The ships will probably just go around the place to show people what the area looks like.

Of course if one is a first time traveler to this island, then he better not expect to see a lot of beautiful scenery. There are a lot of remote areas in the area that are made out of icebergs and ice structures. There are also a lot of ice caverns and ice caves that one may actually take picture of.

Now some of the cool things that people can see here would of course be the marine wildlife. One can see a lot of whales here that have adapted to the harsh conditions of this place with their tough skin. Of course one may also find a lot of seals and walruses swimming in the area as well.

Some other cool animals that one may see here would be the polar bears which are known to thrive in cold weather. There would also be a colony of penguins that can be seen marching about in the islands. For some historical landmarks, one may see a few historical huts and igloos here that are not inhabited.

So for those who would want to have a combination of adventure and relaxation, take this type of cruise is the cruise to take. Now this is great for those who would want to venture into the unknown. There are actually so many places to visit here in this little place known as antarctica.
