jdc2000 Posted February 9, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 9, 2020 It was on the northernmost tip of the Antarctic Peninsula in summer, but still a lot warmer than you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD Posted February 9, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 9, 2020 The Marco Polo, a smaller ocean cruise ship, was doing Australia-New Zealand-Antarctica cruises in the early 2000's and going ashore to see penguins was doable if the conditions were right. I've thought about it. I may do such a cruise in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
