This vital breeding oasis is believed to have more wildlife per square foot than anywhere else on Earth and guests venturing there on select Antarctica itineraries can experience one of the most incredible spectacles in the world as they encounter one million king penguins, one million macaroni penguins, roughly 3.5 million fur seals, and 650,000 elephant seals.
