Antarctica & Arctic
Part of the reason that I’m so enthralled with Antarctica is because it’s one of the rare places on Earth that has never had an Indigenous population; in other words, there are no native human Antarcticans. Of course, animals other than us have lived there for eons. Perhaps, the best known and most abundant are penguins.

Imagine a vast expanse of ice and snow, windswept shores, and rugged volcanic islands. Now picture penguins, some waddling clumsily on land, others gliding gracefully underwater, thriving in some of the harshest yet most breathtaking habitats on Earth.

They slide on their bellies across the snow, congregate on icebergs and seem to fly through freezing water in search of fish. That’s how most people picture penguins: playing among icebergs in Antarctica.

On first impression, Antarctica may look barren and less biodiverse than most other places on Earth. But in recent years, we’ve learned that the White Continent is actually overflowing with life; that is, if you include the microscopic kind.

When you look at the immense footprints humans have left on this planet, it might lead you to conclude that we’ve trod, explored and exploited almost every inch of it; that there is nothing truly unknown or wild remaining. That’s why getting new evidence to the contrary is so hopeful and inspiring.

A question I like to ask people when we are heading southward to the last great wilderness is “why are you here”? Of all the answers, the most common reasons people choose an Antarctica cruise is to see penguins. They are undoubtedly the stars of the show.
