Download Itinerary ANVERS ISLAND AND FLANDRES BAY TRIP CODE ACOWAF DEPARTURE 06/12/2022 DURATION INTRODUCTION 12 Days LOCATIONS In this unforgettable journey you will visit the remote Anvers Island and Flandres Bay. Here you will have the unique opportunity explore and chart some of the most remote Antarctic Peninsula - regions of the Antarctic. This adventure is a true expedition experience. From kayak Anvers Island and Flandres expeditions to spontaneous wildlife encounters, this immersive exploration will take you Bay to one of the most remote corners of the frozen white continent. ITINERARY DAY 1: Arrival and Embarkation in Ushuaia Your voyage begins where the world drops off. Ushuaia, Argentina, reputed to be the southernmost city on the planet, is located on the far southern tip of South America. Starting in the afternoon, you embark from this small resort town on Tierra del Fuego, nicknamed “The End of the World,” and sail the mountain-fringed Beagle Channel for the remainder of the evening. DAY 2: Drake Passage - Day 2 to 3 Over the next two days on the Drake Passage, you enjoy some of the same experiences encountered by the great polar explorers who first charted these regions: cool salt breezes, rolling seas, maybe even a fin whale spouting up sea spray. After passing the Antarctic Convergence – Antarctica’s natural boundary, formed when north- flowing cold waters collide with warmer sub- Antarctic seas – you are in the circum-Antarctic upwelling zone. Not only does the marine life change, the avian life changes too. Wandering albatrosses, grey-headed albatrosses, black- browed albatrosses, light-mantled sooty albatrosses, Cape petrels, southern fulmars, Wilson’s storm petrels, blue petrels, and Antarctic petrels are a few of the birds you might see.

Chimu Adventures PTY LTD ANVERS ISLAND AND FLANDRES BAY TRIP CODE DAY 4: Antarctic Exploration ACOWAF As we head toward Antarctica, our first stop is the impressive Spert Island, where you can enjoy DEPARTURE views of its towering cliffs and canyons from our Zodiacs and kayaks. After an exhilarating morning, we head to Mikklesen Harbor, where the 06/12/2022 goal is to land at the tiny D’Hainaut Island. Gentoo penguins can be seen on this island, which is DURATION surrounded by awe-inspiring glaciers and mountains welcoming us to Antarctica. 12 Days DAY 5: Dobrowolski Island LOCATIONS Today we visit Dobrowolski Island. Landings here Antarctic Peninsula - can be tricky, but the reward is a beautiful island Anvers Island and Flandres that is seldom visited, with a range of penguins Bay and seals that rest on the rocks. A channel around the island offers kayakers a pleasant view of the terrain and wildlife. This is also where we’ve had the most luck seeing hauled-out leopard seals on the ice floes in recent years. Naturally, we cannot guarantee you will see any, but keep your fingers crossed! DAY 6: Flandres Bay Today we head to the area of Flandres Bay, an uncharted area that will provide you the opportunity to see how we use technology to read the sea bed for navigational purposes. We hope to find new information about the coastline as well as finding new landing sites. This is a real expedition day, so flexibility is key, and venturing into the unknown is our aim.

Chimu Adventures PTY LTD ANVERS ISLAND AND FLANDRES BAY DAY 7: Anvers Island TRIP CODE We begin the day on the south side of Anvers Island, in Neumayer Channel, and hope to land at ACOWAF Damoy Point. This is a favorite of our program, with the secluded Dorian Bay nearby and the DEPARTURE chance to snowshoe to a ridge that was once used as a ski-way for aircrafts. After a well-deserved lunch, we head along the Neumayer Channel to 06/12/2022 Börgen Bay and explore this dramatic area of coastline. Weather permitting, we might DURATION alternately visit Access Point, once used by John Biscoe to land on Anvers Island, and re-trace his 12 Days historic footsteps. LOCATIONS DAY 8: Paradise Bay and Brown Station Antarctic Peninsula - Today you may be able to take a Zodiac cruise in Anvers Island and Flandres these sprawling, ice-flecked waters, where there’s Bay a good chance we will encounter humpback and minke whales. We might also be able to make a stop at Brown Station (Almirante Brown), an Argentine research facility with nearby nesting gentoos. A short hike up the hill behind the station offers exceptional views across Paradise Bay. DAY 9: Melchior Islands These islands offer a beautiful landscape rich with icebergs. Leopard seals, crabeater seals, and whales are found here, and there are excellent opportunities for kayaking as well as shore-based activities. DAY 10: Drake Passage Return - Day 10 to 11 Your return voyage is far from lonely. While crossing the Drake, we are again greeted by the vast array of seabirds remembered from the passage south. But they seem a little more familiar to you now, and you to them. Copyright Chimu Adventures. All rights reserved 2020.

Our location was along the south end of Trinity Island in Mikkelsen Harbour near D’Hainaut Island. We loaded into the kayaks from the zodiac and went to explore this beautiful bay. Glacial cliffs surrounded Mikkelsen Harbour as well as towering mountain peaks. Our trajectory was directly towards Skottsberg Point. On the point we found three elephant seals amongst an array of gentoo penguins. Directly above the penguin colony lichen covered volcanic cliffs caught our eyes in awe. We continued this epic first paddle along the glacial cliffs, at a safe distance of course, toward a small island hosting a navigation aid. Here we saw our first gentoo penguin chick, which was fascinating for most. However, what fascinated us even more was witnessing our first glacier calving. The weather, the scenery, the adventure and the people on this day made for an unforgettable experience. We even had the opportunity to paddle through some brash ice before getting back into the zodiac.

Honour and recognition in case of success.” -Sir Ernest Shackleton’s alleged advertisement for crew of the Endurance Expedition 06:30 Early morning coffee, tea and pastries are available in the Compass Club 07:30 – 09:00 Breakfast is served in the Polaris Restaurant 09:30 We plan to land & zodiac cruise at Danco Island Danco Island lies in the southern end of the Errera Channel. It is relatively small, 1.6 km (1 mi) long, and 180 m (590 ft) high. The view from the top of Danco Island is spectacular due to the heavily crevassed glaciers in the surrounding mountains. Beautiful rolled icebergs also tend to collect in this area of the channel. Danco Island is home to approximately 1,600 breeding pairs of gentoo penguins, which breed on the steep slopes.

This information paper presents data collected by IAATO from IAATO Operator Post Visit Report Forms for the 2018-2019 season. No non-IAATO visits are included in this analysis. Additional information on IAATO operator activities can be found in ATCM XLII IP140 IAATO Overview of Antarctic Tourism 2018-19 Season and Preliminary Estimates for 2019-20 and on the IAATO website (www.iaato.org). Antarctic Peninsula traditional ship-borne tourism Antarctic tourism continues to be primarily focused on traditional commercial ship-borne tourism in the Antarctic Peninsula, which accounts for over 95% of all landed activity. Figure 1 provides a comparison of the factor increase in different aspects of this activity (number of passengers, ships, voyages, landings made and sites used). With the exception of the motor yacht Betanzos, all traditional commercial ship-borne tourism with landings to the Peninsula during the 2018-19 season was conducted by IAATO Operators, it is believed that this information is representative of actual activity levels. 20 passengers 18 ships 16 voyages landings 14 sites used 12 10 8 6 Factor increase 4 2 0 1989/901990/911991/921992/931993/941994/951995/961996/971997/981998/991999/002000/012001/022002/032003/042004/052005/062006/072007/082008/092009/102010/112011/122012/132013/142014/152015/162016/172017/182018/19 Austral Summer Season Figure 1: Factor Change in Traditional Landing Ship-borne Tourism in the Antarctic Peninsula 1989-2019.

The final rule will be promulgated as required by Public Law 104-227, the Antarctic Science, Tourism, and Conservation Act of 1998, 16 U.S.C. 2401 et seq., to provide for domestic implementation of the Protocol. The purpose of this Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is to summarize the analysis of the proposed alternatives for the final rule to be promulgated by EPA that will amend 40 CFR Part 8, Environmental Impact Assessment of Nongovernmental Activities in Antarctica.
