A glorious sight and a pungent guano scent welcomed
A glorious sight and a pungent guano scent welcomed my nostrils as I walked by blocks of beached ice. Around where I stood, adorable adelie penguins waddled. Up a craggy slope their numbers rose, right as far as I can behold. And this would be the first landing we have on this remotest of continents, and I can indeed say that the two day cruise through rough seas, from Ushuaia, Argentina, is paying off indeed. Increasingly, tourists across nations learn how much this vast crystalline wilderness situated at the bottom of the world is worth all the hassles in traveling.

Through the years, numbers of visitors grow and just last year, 26,000 trooped here. Patterns of the cold blue are broken off seemingly, by sneaky penguin lectures. It may be the coldest continent in the world, but the weather can be surprisingly pleasant during the December days of the austral summer. Temperatures often get above freezing even into the 40s on the peninsula. The trip normally has its high during November to March.
