Making the most of Cape Hallet
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
01
Arriving at the port
As cruise ships are not able to dock here you will be tendered by inflatable zodiac boats. Helicopter landings are not permitted.
02
Sightseeing
The enormous Admiralty Range heralds the arrival at Cape Hallett, near the head of the Ross Sea. The scenery here is wild and spectacular. Mountains rear up from the sea to over 4,000 meters. Giant glaciers course their way down from the interior to discharge their icy load. You will land next to an abandoned American-New Zealand base, home to large numbers of Adelie Penguins and Weddell Seals.
