What are the beautiful scenery of Antarctic tourism?

Antarctica has many beautiful scenery. Let me first introduce the places chosen by 80% friends who go to Antarctica.

1/ Antarctic Peninsula

The Antarctic Peninsula is the largest peninsula in the Antarctic continent, which extends farthest to the north in the ocean and is the easiest place for travelers to reach the South Pole. This sharp corner on the map is the closest place to South America on the Antarctic Peninsula. The first stop of most ships in Antarctica is here. So, when you set foot on this land, you really set foot on the South Pole. Landing on the peninsula and subsequent islands is the best place to watch Antarctic wildlife.

Paradise harbor

Named for its beautiful scenery, it is the best place to watch the Antarctic Peninsula. Whenever a snowstorm comes, Paradise Bay becomes the guardian of jerash Strait and jerash Strait, sheltering visiting tourists.

Peterman i.

The gathering place of Papua penguins returns here every year to lay eggs and hatch, and February-March is the season for young penguins to grow up.

Port Rockroy

There is a British site here, which is called "the southernmost post office in the world". Don't forget to take your passport to stick stamps, or send a postcard to a friend at a postage of one dollar!

Internal medicine port

Neck harbor is located in the deep part of Anwar Bay, named after the Norwegian whaling ship cat. There are huge icebergs here, and new big icebergs are often generated here. This is a famous place to shoot Antarctic icebergs.

Danko Island? (Danko Island)

There are about 1700 pairs of gentoo (Papua) penguins on Danke Island, and seabirds such as snow algae, blue-eyed cormorants, white-sheathed gulls and black-backed gulls can also be seen.

Deception Island (Deception Island)

The sloop hero on this island has a name called Deception Island. 1820 summer, 1 15 10, American seal catcher Nathaniel Palmer landed for the first time and explored. He stayed for two days, exploring the Central Bay. Palmer named it deception island, because its periphery looks like a normal island. When it enters the narrow entrance of Neptune bellows, it can be clearly seen that it is an annular submerged crater.

One day in the early 20th century, the Antarctic sea was full of fog. Several fishermen stumbled upon an island in the fog, but as soon as the sea level rose, the island disappeared again, as if there was no such island at all, hence the nickname "Deception Island".

Ku Verveer i.

Cuverville Verveer Island is located at the entrance of Herrera Strait, flanked by steep mountains and glaciers in the Antarctic continent. There are 252-meter-high rocks on the island, with a long beach at the foot, which is the habitat of a large number of golden penguins. About 6,500 pairs of golden penguins breed here, forming the largest colony on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands, also known as the Malvinas Islands, include two main islands, the East Falkland Islands and the West Falkland Islands, and more than 700 small islands. Although Britain and Argentina are currently competing for the sovereignty of the island, the people of the island have internal autonomy, and Britain is responsible for its national defense and foreign affairs.

The number of tourists in the Falkland Islands is strictly controlled within a small range, because the owners here are more than 60 species of birds and millions of penguins, which thrive here. Sea lions, seals and dolphins are also common.

Port Stanley

Port Stanley is the capital of the Falkland Islands, with two-thirds of the population. Walking in it seems to be a mini-Britain: a red telephone booth, a bar selling fish and chips ... you can visit emperor penguins and golden penguins by off-road vehicle.

West Point, West Point Island

The biggest highlight of West Point Island is that about 500 pairs of rockhoppers and 2,000 pairs of black-browed albatrosses thrive here, incubating eggs and feeding their offspring.

Cake island

Kalkas Island was named after HMS Carcass, which first arrived here in 1766. Walking along the coast of Kalkas Island, you can see many birds. Due to the lack of rodents (pikas, etc. ), the life of birds is very rich. Magellan Penguin and Golden Figure Penguin.

Gypsy Bay, Gypsy Bay

Gypsy Bay is only 6.5 kilometers away from Stanley, and it is the most convenient wildlife reserve from Stanley. Magellanic penguins breed here and nest in caves in small bays on the white sand beach.

During Argentina's occupation of the Falkland Islands in 1982, some mines were planted here. If mine clearance is needed, large-scale excavation is needed in the beach area, which will cause ecological damage to Magellan penguins. Penguins are too light to detonate mines, so these mines are not ruled out. Travelers will be able to watch penguins safely from a distance without destroying their habitat, which is not a positive side.

Haishidao

Sea lion island makes people mistakenly think that they are coming to see sea lions. Of course, there are many sea lions and seals here, as well as Antarctic representative animals such as Kintu Penguin and Magellan Penguin. But what really impresses Sea Lion Island is the elephant seal sunbathing on the beach-well, it's the kind of behemoth whose male can reach 6 tons.

Weddell i.

Vedel Island is the largest outer island in the Falkland Islands. Like most islands, marine mammals are distributed near the coastline. Golden earth penguins are very common. Magellan penguins dig holes in soft soil, sea lions live under the grass and dolphins play in the bay.

In addition, it is also an excellent bird-watching place. Jenny and Martin are the only permanent residents on the island. They found as many as 54 kinds of birds.

Pebble island

This is a good place to spend a few hours immersed in the social ecology of penguins. Sitting on the rock, watching five kinds of penguins leave their nests, set off in droves, set foot on the cliff and go straight to the sea with funny gait. Once the day's fishing and foraging is over, they will play in the rock pool at the foot of the cliff and then return home.

Saunders island, Saunders island

Saunders Island is recognized as the dream of nature lovers. The most popular albatross is the albatross with black eyebrows, and about 1. 1 10,000 pairs breed here. These four kinds of penguins also live here: crested penguin, emperor penguin, Magellan penguin and golden penguin. At Elephant Horn, there is also a small southern elephant seal breeding ground, and some southern right whales will also enter the bay to rest and feed.

Blake island, Blake island

Black Island is located in the southeast of the Falkland Islands, near the main island of East Falkland, about 35 minutes' flight from the capital Stanley. Sandy Bay, a white sandy beach with crystal clear water, is an excellent place to watch Golden Map Penguins, Magellan Penguins and Rockhoppers return from foraging.

South Georgia Islands, South Georgia Island

South Georgia Island is called the Serengeti of the Southern Ocean, because it is a place where some wild animals are concentrated: the huge habitat of emperor penguins, as well as countless albatrosses and elephant seals. Photographers and animal lovers don't want to miss South Georgia!

St Andrews Bay, St Andrews Bay

In the largest colony of emperor penguins in South Georgia, as many as 300,000 emperor penguins gather on a 3-kilometer-long beach in St. Andrews Bay. This is also the largest seal breeding beach in South Georgia. Intensively impacting your senses.

Willis is

There are no mice in Willis Islands, so it is home to burrowing and ground nesting birds, where 34,000 pairs of black-browed albatrosses and 25,000 pairs of gray-headed albatrosses nest. Perhaps half of the 2.5 million macaroni penguins in South Georgia live here.

Stromnes of Stromnes

Stromnes is not only the best-preserved whaling station, but also the place where shackleton went through hardships, issued an alarm on 19 16, and finally set out from Elephant Island to rescue the trapped companions. If the weather permits, following in his footsteps, the last few miles from Fortuna Bay to Stromnes on the shackleton Trail will be unforgettable.

Jingang gold bay

The golden harbor is so called because the sun shines golden light on the cliff sooner or later. This beautiful little bay, the beach is surrounded by cliffs and glaciers. It is home to many wild animals, including large emperor penguin habitats and elephant seal habitats.

Salisbury plain

As the second largest emperor penguin habitat in South Georgia, you will never forget the sound of penguins and the "penguin smell" in the air!
