Pack your sense of intrigue and favorite photography gear for a 19-day expedition covering two of the most remote sub-Antarctic Island destinations. Witness wildlife on an incomparable scale on South Georgia, where elephant seals lumber, untold thousands of king penguins gather on a single beach, and Sir Ernest Shackleton rests for eternity. In the Falklands, discover vast colonies of nesting albatrosses and rockhopper penguins and visit isolated settlements where locals still live off the land. Itinerary departing on February 26, 2024 U.S. / Buenos Aires, Argentina Depart on an overnight flight to Buenos Aires. Settle into the Alvear Icon or similar before setting out on a guided tour of the city’s Beaux-Arts palaces and parks. Visit Recoleta—the final resting place of Argentina's iconic first lady, Eva Perón—and enjoy a private visit to El Zanjon de Granados, one of the city’s premier museums. In the early evening, we gather for an informal reception and a drink at the hotel. DAY 3 - Fly to Ushuaia / Embark Fly southward to Ushuaia—aka ‘The End of the World’—sandwiched between ice-mantled peaks and the protected waters of Beagle Channel. Savor lunch onboard a private catamaran as you cruise the Channel, keeping an eye out for plump sea lions and sleek imperial cormorants. By day’s end, embark and settle into your floating expedition home base. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAY 4 - At Sea in the South Atlantic Feel the excitement build as we depart South America and enter the chilly realm of the far South Atlantic. Visit the Bridge (nerve center of the ship and ideal for spotting wildlife), enjoy a massage, and listen in on informal gatherings with our naturalist staff as they discuss what to expect in the wilds of the Falklands. Spend time on deck scanning the horizon for petrels, penguins, and albatross. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 5 and 6 - Falkland Islands Everything we love about expedition travel comes together in the western Falkland Islands. Where else can you land on a beach tucked into a rocky cove, hike out across a rolling green pasture, and suddenly find yourself at the crest of a sea cliff looking out over the South Atlantic surf? Just a few steps further and you’re standing at the edge of a breeding colony of black-browed albatross, so close that you can hear the wind on their wings as they swoop in to land beside you. Check out the thousands of irresistible gentoo, rockhopper, and Magellanic penguins that congregate here, along with magnificent albatrosses and fur seals. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 7 and 8 - At Sea Expedition days at sea are an invitation to pause, catch a breath, and absorb some of the experiences we've already accumulated before marching off on a range of new ones. It’s a great time to get to learn about the history of Antarctic exploration and the flora, fauna, and geology of our next destination: South Georgia. Learn from our naturalists how to identify the seabirds that inevitably follow us there: wandering albatrosses, prions, and others. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 9 through 13 - South Georgia Island Explore the spectacular coastline of South Georgia Island. Our schedule is flexible with opportunities for walking, hiking, kayaking, and Zodiac excursions. Sailing along the coast, we plan to offer activities every day including visits to Grytviken, the final resting place of Shackleton, and Stromness Harbour, where Ernest Shackleton, Tom Crean, and Frank Worsley finally reached aid at a whaling station. The island is also home to huge elephant seals and thousands of king penguins. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 14 and 15 - At Sea Relax onboard and enjoy the ship’s amenities. Head up to the Bridge to observe expert navigation at work as our skilled Captain and officers sail these historic waters.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 16 and 17- Falklands / At Sea With whales beneath and birds above, head up to the bridge, or spend these days enjoying the ship’s spa, fitness center, library, and observation deck. After time at sea, our journey across the South Atlantic Ocean takes us once more to the island archipelago that teems with nature. In the afternoon, we visit Stanley, the bright, pretty capital of the Falkland Islands, a charming outpost of British culture tucked into a small bay on the shore of these windswept islands in the far South Atlantic. Many Falkland Islanders still live in very traditional ways, and we’ll have a chance to visit a small farm to see some expert sheep shearing and learn about the best techniques for cutting blocks of peat for the fire. The rocky hills and white sand beaches outside town offer some excellent hikes, and afterward a cup of tea or a pint at the local tavern goes down very nicely. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 18 AND 19 - Ushuaia, Argentina / Disembark / Fly to Buenos Aires, After breakfast, disembark in Ushuaia and transfer to the airport for our private charter flight to Santiago or Buenos Aires to connect with your overnight flight home.

Forged in steel, the 38mm Bathyscaphe is equipped with the renowned self-winding Calibre 1150, which has acquired a reputation for robustness. The 43mm version is crafted from grey ceramic and powered by Calibre 1315, a technical and precision timekeeping benchmark in the realm of luxury sports watches. Movements in both watches are visible through a sapphire case-back revealing a sandblasted, satin-finished and snailed gold oscillating weight engraved with the Blancpain logo, along with snailed and beveled bridges.

About Peter Beard
Born in New York City, Peter Beard he went on a life-changing trip to Africa as a teenager with Quentin Keynes, the great-grandson of Charles Darwin. He returned as a college student, and in lieu of completing his senior thesis at Yale he mailed in his diaries from Kenya. In the 60s Beard received a special dispensation from President Kenyatta to purchase Hog Ranch in Kenya with the mandate that he film, photograph, write, and document the local flora, fauna, and peoples. He has exhibited his photos internationally for decades – in 1996, Beard’s exhibition at the Centre National de la Photographie in Paris opened as the artist recovered from being trampled and speared in the leg by the tusk of an elephant. Throughout his travels and career Beard has befriended and collaborated with artists including Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Salvador Dali, Richard Lindner, Terry Southern, and Truman Capote.

Enjoy an Exclusive Premiere Screening of the New Robert Zemeckis film, The Witches plus Tamara Comolli Jewelry “The Witches,” a fantastical adventure from Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”), starring Oscar winners Anne Hathaway (“Les Misérable,” “Ocean’s 8”) and Octavia Spencer (“The Help,” “The Shape of Water”), Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci (“The Hunger Games” films, “The Lovely Bones”), and award-winning comedy legend Chris Rock. Reimagining Dahl’s beloved story for a modern audience, Zemeckis’s visually innovative “The Witches” tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. The boy and his grandmother come across some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, so Grandma wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.
