It is hard to put into words the sheer grandeur of an Antarctic landscape. Enormous tabular icebergs rise from the sea, hillsides are covered with thousands of penguins and seals bask on icebergs dotted in the ocean; the sights, sounds and emotions will stay with you forever. The Antarctic Peninsula itself boasts a profusion of wildlife including five species of seal, massive penguin rookeries with gentoos, adelies and chinstraps as well as a variety of whale species and seabirds including albatross, petrels, shearwaters and skuas.
