Cruises from Petermann Island
Petermann Island is a small island just 1 km long, lying off Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, and 10 km north of the Ukrainian research base on Galindez Island. The Antarctic Circle is still 155 km to the south of Petermann Island. An ice-cap covers part of the NW end of the island and a crevassed permanent ice-slope largely covers the southern end of the island. Stoney bays indent its coastline, with nearly continuous rocky outcrops along the shore.
