Wildlife

Chinstrap Penguin

Named for the thin black band under its chin, the chinstrap penguin looks as if it is wearing a helmet. Listen for it before you see it: it has one of the loudest, harshest calls of any penguin.

Activity

Birdwatching

Birdwatching in Antarctica means penguins ashore and albatrosses riding the wind off the ship's stern, often without leaving the deck. It rewards patience more than gear, though a decent pair of binoculars helps.

Wildlife

Adélie Penguin

One of the most widespread penguins in Antarctica, the Adélie is often the first tuxedoed local guests meet ashore. Its stark white eye-ring and brisk, purposeful waddle make it easy to pick out along the ice edge.
