We had encounters with particularly friendly penguins on Gourdin Island, part of a group of islands in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula. Here there is a large breeding colony of Adelie penguins and a smaller colony of chinstrap and gentoo penguins.
We had a dream day in Cierva Cove, a bay in Grahamland on the Antarctic Peninsula. Landings are not permitted there, but we explored the magnificent polar landscape with the Zodiacs.
Penguins were our constant companions during our trip to South Georgia and here in Gold
Harbour there are tens of thousands of breeding pairs, especially king and gentoo penguins. Unfortunately, we were
unable to land here due to the many elephant seals present and could only observe the animals and the impressive landscape
from the Zodiac.
You can find our travel report with even more photos on this homepage.
The albatrosses accompanied us on many of our crossings. On the Falkland Islands, we had
the opportunity to visit a breeding colony of black-browed albatrosses at West Point. In between, the rockhopper penguins
also raised their young.

Our trip to the Antarctic Peninsula at the beginning of 2024 was so eventful that we will be posting more photos under "Photo of the month" this year. Here a gentoo penguin with our ship SEA SPIRIT in the background.
Once in a lifetime - we are back from our trip to another world. Ice - snow - rain - sun - sea - waves - whales - sea lions - penguins - seabirds.... The impressions were very intense, we will post a travel report here soon.
