Our ship slowly navigates past an immense iceberg, a good square mile in size, as big as our neighborhood, as we head toward Paradise Harbor and beyond the Almirante Brown Antarctic base station, a missile of an island surrounded by penguins. We zodiac around the island and see pretty much everything as big, fluffy flakes of snow begin to fall – skua birds in search of penguin eggs and baby penguins, if they get a chance; a nest of cormorants, one of which I catch in slow motion, winging its way above us; another humpback galumphing by, and chinstrap and Gentoo penguins clinging to the rocks.
