The penguin chicks are now very active and curious, chasing both parents for food as soon as they return from fishing trips
It’s peak whale spotting season as all migrating pods have now made it down to Antarctica’s rich waters
February is the perfect month to reach the Polar Circle, now that the ice has receded to its maximum extent
The moulting stage begins for the adult penguins, while the chicks are fledging and learning to swim in the shallows
The focus of the Humpback whales now changes, becoming more inquisitive now they’ve sated their appetite

Paradise Bay – You may be able to take a zodiac cruise in the ice-flecked waters, with a good chance that you’ll encounter humpback and minke whales.
