The Antarctic Peninsula

By Jon Bowermaster

Hello from - Antarctica! I'm back for nearly two months and as always when it comes to the seventh continent, every day is guaranteed to be completely new and different. I've already spent several days along the towering glaciers that line the Peninsula, crossed channels filled with just-breaking-up pack ice and spied a first tiny penguin chick (the majority will be born over the next couple weeks).

We've also already endured a day of monstrous winds - hurricane-force, gusting to over 100 miles per hour and the news that a nearby tourist boat had run aground. I'll be reporting on that and more every day these next several weeks, from this most beautiful of landscapes.
