In Search Of The Emperor Penguin
On this dramatic voyage to the Weddell Sea our first sightings of huge tabular icebergs will announce our arrival to the remote eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula. We plan to cruise to the windswept Aitcho, or Penguin Island, at the South Shetlands which are often shrouded in mist and offer a variety of mosses, lichens and flowering grasses. The Emperor Penguin rookery, as seen over the last two seasons, is situated south of Snow Hill Island. We will position ourselves between Snow Hill Island and James Ross Island, close to the ice-edge and observe the Emperor Penguins on their way to the open water.
