Deception Island near Antarctic Peninsula

Getting There - Via polar cruises only; there are numerous operators that caters to different type of travellers, from budget to ultra luxury ships; regardless of which operator the views in Antarctica will be the highlight of your trip Attractions - Had a zodiac landing in Deception island and saw the remains of an old whaling station and the British Antarctic Survey base. The beach here is covered with volcanic sand and the waters are lukewarm when touched, heat released from the active volcano. Optional hike up to Neptune’s Window to take in the views from the summit. Wildlife - Gentoo penguins and occasional spotting of Wedell seals. #awesomepic #tripblazers #antarctica
