Petermann Island

Petermann Island is one of the more interesting of the landings that we made. It had a mixture or Gentoo and Adelie penguins, and Imperial Cormorants or blue-eyed shags, that have a black and white coloring very similar to penguins. In addition, after a short climb, you come to Iceberg Alley, a cove where the current has deposited many large icebergs, some of them, complete with seals.
