The Drake Passage is the name for the body of water that spans between the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. Named after the famed explorer Sir Francis Drake, the Drake Passage has become a relatively popular destination for sailing trips that seek to explore the Antarctic. One can view a stunning variety of sea life, such as whales, dolphins, and seabirds, from a sailboat in the Drake Passage.
