Antarctic Discovery

As the Antarctic summer begins, the continent and wildlife awaken.

November is the prime time for seabird courting season, with majestic petrels and prions swooping in delicate arcs through the sky. On the shores of the Antarctic Peninsula, Gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguins are also courting and building nests. Sculpted ice and brilliant glacial blue inspire a sense of awe in a world beyond imagination — a place of pure, untouched beauty.
