Cruises from Lemaire Channel
The scenic Lemaire Channel between Booth Island and Kiev Peninsula on the Antarctic Peninsula is considered one of the highlights of any cruise going to sub-Antarctica. The channel is 11 km long and 700 m wide at its narrowest point. It is filled with icebergs and hemmed in by towering cliffs on each side. Lemaire Channel is as far south as cruise ships venture, about 285 km north of the Antarctic Circle. Read more
The northern entrance to the channel is guarded by Una Peaks (Una’s Tits), two towers of basalt, with the highest summit at 747m.
