Dec 14, 2006 - Antarctica: The Lemaire Channel, Petermann Island & The Penola Strait

Our first activity today was a transit of Lemaire Channel. We then did a landing on Petermann Island, home to large colonies of Adele and Gentoo penguins. ... This island is also the site of a long-term monitoring station for Oceanites, a nonprofit scientific research organization.Our first activity today was a transit of Lemaire Channel.
