Meet the locals

  • During the warmer spring and summer months, the seas around the Antarctic Peninsula come alive with whales and seals which migrate here to feast on the abundant krill at this time. 

  • The region is a true birdwatcher’s paradise who are drawn by the millions of birds across 46 species. Keep your eyes peeled for Wandering Albatrosses, shearwaters, Giant Petrels and Storm Petrels, to name but a few.
