Cruises from Cape Adare

Cape Adare is an impressive, dark peninsula, towering as a prominent landmark above the entrance to the Ross Sea. The cliffs of volcanic rocks – the rest of the volcano has been eroded long time ago – are at the northernmost end of the Transantarctic Mountains, offering splendid views over amazing glacier and mountain scenery on rare days with good weather. Cape Adare was discovered and named by Captain James Clark Ross in 1841, who was, however, unable to land due to strong winds and high surf.
