03Atka Bay (Antarctica)
Experience a colony of emperor penguins up close.

During your stay in Antarctica, you should not miss out on a trip to see the emperor penguins. On a two-hour flight, you can discover the impressive polar plateau from above. Your guide will take you to the emperor penguin colony with over 3,000 breeding pairs and their newly hatched chicks. As tourists are a rarity on the continent, the chicks are very curious and often waddle right up to your feet, making you one of the few people to witness the "march of the emperor penguins" live from just a few meters away.
