Ocean Tramp – Isla de los Estados

Embark on a 10-day journey through the rugged beauty of the Beagle Channel aboard the Ocean Tramp, where local scientists will be part of the crew throughout the entire trip. Departing from the southernmost city of Ushuaia, the expedition sets its course towards the remote Isla de los Estados, a pristine wilderness teeming with life.

As the ship navigates the cool waters, passengers are treated to breathtaking vistas of lush green landscapes and rugged coastlines. The crisp sea air fills lungs with exhilaration, while the promise of discovery beckons from the horizon. Keep your eyes open for the majestic ocean albatrosses, petrels, dolphins riding the bow, and maybe even a whale!

Upon reaching the rugged shores of Isla de los Estados, the scientists continue their research into the elusive otters that inhabit these remote islands. They set out to collect valuable data by gathering otter scat—a treasure trove of information about the health and habits of these enchanting creatures.

Venturing deep into the island’s untamed interior, researchers navigate dense forests and rocky terrain to reach hidden camera traps strategically placed to observe otter behavior. With skilled hands, they carefully retrieve memory cards and replace batteries, ensuring that the vital stream of data continues to flow.

As the sun sets over the wild landscape, the wildlife expedition returns to the Ocean Tramp, hearts and minds brimming with the wonders of nature’s mysteries unravelled. With each passing moment, the bond between humanity and the natural world grows stronger, fueled by the shared passion for exploration and understanding.
