Antarctic Sound

Antartica

Antarctic Sound is a channel separating the Antarctic Peninsula from the Joinville Island group at the continent's northern tip. Named by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1902, it is famous for the enormous tabular icebergs that drift through its waters. Expedition ships navigate the sound for views of the icebergs, the volcanic cliffs of Brown Bluff with its penguin colonies, and the stark scenery of the Weddell Sea's edge.
