Antarctica Wildlife & Nature

Experience some truly rewarding wildlife encounters on a visit to the great white continent. During the austral summer, Antarctica and the surrounding islands play host to some of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth. Millions of pairs of penguins, albatrosses and other sea birds breed in the region; seals are regularly observed hauled out on ice floes; and whales and other marine mammals come to feed in nutrient-rich oceans.
