Wildlife in Antarctica:
Penguin Observations
Penguins are the ultimate emblem of Antarctica - what better way to spend your Antarctic cruise than on the ice, amongst these comical creatures? Zodiac excursions on these wildlife cruises allow you to get up close and personal with these fascinating, and very vocal Antarctic mammals.
Whale Watching
Whales are definitely amongst some of the most magnificent mammals in the world. The whales found in Antarctic waters migrate long distances, heading to warmer waters during the Antarctic winter (June-August) and returning in the austral spring. Due to the receding ice edge in these warmer months, the Southern Oceans become a rich feeding ground for the whales. Whale calves are born in these more hospitable seas as they would struggle to survive in the colder Polar waters.
Seal Spotting
Antarctic seals will often be seen lounging on large ice floes as you pass them in your cruise ship or zodiac boat. Although they are primarily marine mammals, they all leave the water to breed, rest and molt.
Bird Watching
Antarctica is home to a stunning and unique array of seabirds. 35 different species live south of the Antarctic Convergence, though only 19 breed on the White Continent itself. There are probably 100 million or more that breed along the coast and on the offshore islands of Antarctica.
