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.

Wildlife

Macaroni Penguin

Look for the shaggy yellow eyebrows: this stocky, crested penguin breeds in dense, noisy colonies across the Southern Ocean. It's the most numerous penguin species on Earth, though its numbers have been falling since the 1970s.
