Antarctica is home to exotic wildlife, incredible landscapes of ice and fierce weather. It is a continent that sits at the "End of the World" and whose remoteness alone attract the more adventurous visitor. A major highlight here are the penguins - colonies of several hundred thousand can be found nesting and chattering away throughout the area. Humpback, orca and minke whales are often spotted nosing out of the frigid water, as are elephant, Weddel, leopard and crabeater seals.
