O’Higgens Base Antarctica

This is the best time of year to watch the Gentoo penguins raising their young. Penguins arrive in late September to breed, and they depart the following April. There are multiple cameras to view with varying refresh rates.

The cameras capture live images of the Penguins, and zoomed cameras provide the chance to watch these fascinating creatures close at hand.

There are also stunning sunrises and sunsets from an area so remote few will ever see them firsthand.
