Situated between Ancers Islands and the Danco Coast, Gerlache Strait is a renowned body of water in the Antarctic Peninsula where one can explore the impeccable wildlife and gaze at the stunning surroundings.
A must-see for those visiting Antarctica on a luxury charter yacht, the Gerlache Strait is one of the top places to spot icebergs and whales in this incredibly magical white continent.
Gerlache Strait was named after Belgian explorer Lieutenant Adrien de Gerlache, who led an expedition to the region in 1898. The Gerlache Strait is now one of Antarctica's most sailed-through routes due to its natural beauty and astounding wildlife. Conservationists and naturalists visit the area to raise awareness about its beauty and the ongoing task of protecting the strait's krill and Antarctic penguin populations.
