Antarctica Pete´s Pillar, Deception Island

Deception Island in Antarctica is a flooded volcanic caldera where ships can sail directly into its sheltered harbor through a narrow passage called Neptune’s Bellows. The island’s black sand beaches, steaming geothermal vents, wildlife and abandoned whaling stations create an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. It’s one of the few places in Antarctica where you can stand between fire and ice.

Be ready with your camera when you drive into the volcano caldera. It's a very close drive next to the cliffs and spectacular. Stay outside the deck on your right side.

You only can reach Deception Island by an expedition boat. Most of the unforgettable journeys are starting from Ushuaia Argentinia. On every landing site you have around 90-120 minutes time to create your content.

Please take attention to all the strict rules that your crew bring you closer to protect the wildlife and nature sites. Especially you need to clean all your gear every time. Also you are not allowed to lay your personal belongings on the ground.
