Antarctica has a way of making every day feel like you're stepping into a wildlife documentary. From penguins shuffling past in their thousands to seals dozing on ice floes and whales surfacing so close you can hear their breath as they exhale, it is pure, unscripted magic in one of the wildest places on Earth - all the more special when experienced on a Scenic Discovery Yachts voyage. | Scenic

Antarctica is the only place on earth that you can find the Emperor penguin. Though around 600,000 of them live on the White Continent, they can be tricky to find. You may be lucky to see them in the Weddell Sea at the start of the cruise season. But the best and most unique Emperor-spotting opportunity comes during an exclusive helicopter excursion to Snow Hill Island. where you can watch these giants of the penguin world care for their newly hatched chicks and slide across the frozen sea ice.
