At the end of Peel Fjord, along its eastern right-hand branch, lies Calvo Fjord, a paradise set amid the Andes Mountains, where more than 11 glaciers can be seen. Surrounded by ice and mountains, it is an almost Antarctic-like adventure.
Aboard the Capitán Constantino—a robust ice-exploration vessel designed and built exclusively for this excursion—we navigate for nearly three and a half hours among icebergs and glaciers of Calvo Fjord, accessing pristine and otherwise unreachable areas that only Skorpios Cruises can enter, coming within just 35 kilometres of the border with Argentina.
At this location, we take part in the traditional 12:30 toast: whisky with millennia-old ice. Navigating among icebergs is a truly unique sensation—crossing ice barriers is an extraordinary and unrepeatable experience that is difficult to forget, as the surrounding mountains and ice floes evoke the Ice Age.
Many of these glaciers bear the names of Skorpios III crew members, bestowed by Don Constantino during the first Kaweskar Route voyage in 2003.
