Wildlife
The king penguin is the second-largest penguin species, closely resembling but smaller than the emperor penguin. Look for its dense, noisy colonies on South Georgia's beaches, one of the more reliable large penguins to watch up close on these voyages.

Wildlife
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 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.
