Walking Among Penguin Colonies in Antarctica

Expedition cruises reach the Antarctic Peninsula from Ushuaia, at the tip of Argentina, reached via Buenos Aires. Zodiac landings put you inside breeding colonies of gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguins, thousands of birds braying, squabbling and tobogganing across the snow. The colonies run on krill and noise, and curious chicks waddle right up to your boots. Cruises run November through March, with chicks hatching in December and January.
