PARADISE IN ANTARCTIC MAINLAND

We can say that we walk on the Antarctic continent! Not also walk, but slide down. Our first landind during the morning was at the Argentinean base of Almirante Brown. The base is located in Paradise Bay. Now we know why this place is called like that. The view from the snow-covered hill was amazing!




We were not tired of seeing penguins, so we went to Neko Harbour in the afternoon. A penguin rookery of gentoo penguins were wainting for us. Chicks running after their mothers, skuas trying to get their dinner (penguin eggs or small chicks), and the scenary hike up the hill were the principal attractions at Neko.
