At the foot of Mount Hoogh you will see Argentina's Almirante Brown Station by the shore. You can experience the bay from two perspectives, either on zodiac or on the land. While on land you can a relatively close look at the gentoo penguins that call this island home, or climb further up on the hills and mountainsides to get a wide view of the area. When you are cruising on a zodiac, you are likely to see some spectacular scenery first hand, like the Bryde Peak, Garzon Glacier and Peak, and Petzvol Glacier. It is especially impressive to see the mirror reflection of these sites in the smooth bay waters. If you are fortunate you might even see a minke whale wanting to play.

GERLACHE STRAIT

Elephant Island, Antarctica

Elephant Island is a popular attraction to Antarctic tourists because of the historical experiences of Captain Shackleton of the Endurance and his 27-crew men. In January 1915, they were ship wrecked in the pack ice of Weddell Sea. Stranded on ice floes and three small boats from the Endurance they finally made it to Elephant Island. While the crew survived on seal and penguin meet, Captain Shackleton took 5 crewmembers with him to the island of South Georgia where he and one other crewmember hiked 36 hours across South Georgia to the whaling station on the opposite side. From there Shackleton borrowed a tugboat to mount a rescue of his men on the opposite side of South Georgia Island and on Elephant Island. After four more months and three failed attempts, Shackleton was finally able to illustrate a Captains loyalty to his crew on August 30, 1916. Not a crewman was lost.
