Stop 1 · Australia
Hobart
The second-oldest city in the country, and the main port for Australian and French Antarctic resupply voyages.
The world's southernmost towns
A journey down the tail end of the inhabited world, each stop further south than the last, ending within sight of Antarctic waters.
The five stops
Stop 2 · New Zealand
Invercargill
Home to about 57,000 people, it is one of the southernmost cities on earth — and the launching point for ferries to Stewart Island.
Stop 3 · Falkland Islands
Stanley
Around 2,500 people live here — about three quarters of the entire territory's population. Ships wrecked rounding Cape Horn still rot in the harbour.
Stop 4 · Chile
Punta Arenas
The largest city south of the 46th parallel anywhere in the world, and the main gateway for Antarctic flights and Patagonian expeditions.
Stop 5 · Argentina
Ushuaia
On the Beagle Channel, named for Darwin's ship. Most Antarctic cruises leave from here — the peninsula is a two-day sail away.
