Deception island

See 100 years' worth of expeditions to the mysterious Deception Island, teeming with life despite its bleak reputation.

There are few places (if any) more beautiful than the world's southernmost continent. Although 99 percent of Antarctica is covered with ice, the landscape still manages to be stunningly diverse—surreal blue glaciers, active volcanoes, the rough waterways of the Drake Passage, and 360-degree views of untouched snow. And those views are made even better when an emperor penguin or humpback whale makes an appearance. There truly is nowhere else on Earth like this pristine world of ice.

This ring-shaped island, which is actually the caldera of an active volcano, is a popular part of our Antarctic Peninsula cruises.
