Cuverville Island & Neko Harbor, 12/30/2018, National Geographic Orion

Aboard the National Geographic Orion
Antarctica

Today, we explored Cuverville Island and Neko Harbour, located in the heart of the Gerlache Strait. The morning excursion ashore on Cuverville Island allowed us to visit the numerous colonies of Gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua). These small but curious birds were busy nurturing numerous eggs, soon to hatch. Later in the afternoon, we hiked a small part of a mountain overlooking Neko Harbour, where we were greeted by more Gentoo penguins and sights of a calving glacier. Some of us even enjoyed some improvised tobogganing.
