The wildlife you can see in Antarctica ranges from massive marine life to rare seabirds not found anywhere else on the planet. Antarctica lays claim to world’s greatest variety of penguin species, including Adélie, chinstrap, orange-beaked gentoo and mohawked rockhopper penguins. On visits to South Georgia, you may also see one of the world’s tallest penguins, the king penguin, which stands at roughly three feet tall. Krill-rich waters are the draw for marine life to Antarctica and include humpback whales, leopard seals, Antarctic fur seals, orcas, giant Southern elephant seals and rare dolphins. The skies and cliffs here are also home to incredible birds, such as the cape petrel, predatory brown and south polar skuas, Antarctic tern and wandering albatross, the largest flying bird on the planet.
