Amazing Antarctica
by Ellen Heertje
Departure in November 2023
Region: Antarctica
Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula
Ship: m/v Ortelius
Highlights: Helicopter Tours, Emperor Penguin
I was stunned by the large quantity of Emperor Penguins with their chickens on Snow Hill Island. Helicopters brought us there. Both helicopters and Zodiacs brought us to many different places where we discovered lots of wildlife. But of course, we could also watch them from the ship when we were followed by whales, seals, penguïns or birds.
