5 6 After breakfast, we zipped to shore at Brown Bluff, “ a fascinating geologic area where we found hundreds of penguins. This is a colony which supported 100,000 pairs of Adélie penguins earlier in the season, but is now reaching the season’s end. There were a handful of Adélie chicks and many gentoo chicks testing the waters and exercising their wings. The beach shallows were kiddy pools filled with fluffy chicks sticking their heads into the water, wading in, and being pushed around by small incoming waves. We enjoyed watching their antics for a couple of hours, as well as finding a solitary fur seal, and taking a hike onto the edge of a glacier.” — EMILY MOUNT Naturalist aboard National Geographic Explorer

Even long-time naturalists like Pete Puleston and Bud Lehnhausen said they’d never seen a sunset like that in Antarctica.” — AMY H., Guest aboard National Geographic Explorer
