Antarctica Heroina Island, Antarctica

Heroína Island lies in the South Shetland Islands and is known for its rich Antarctic wildlife and remote, largely undisturbed environment. The island hosts colonies of Adélie penguin, which breed along the rocky shores and rely on nearby krill-rich waters for feeding.
The surrounding ocean is a hotspot for marine life, including leopard seal—a top predator often seen near penguin colonies—as well as various whale species such as humpback whale and minke whale. Seabirds, including skuas and petrels, are also common, making the island an important part of the Antarctic ecosystem.

Picture 1 : Use a tele-zoom lens to bring the glacier closer to the penguins. It is a unique scenery.

Picture 2: Take attention to a mother and chick in the colony.

Picture 3: Use a wide angle to complete your series and with a shot of the island to show people how the island looks like.

Use a fast shutter speed (at least 1/800s or higher) to freeze motion and keep your images sharp despite the constant movement of the zodiac.

You only can reach Antarctica by an expedition boat. Most of the unforgettable journeys are starting from Ushuaia Argentinia.

Heroina Island is great for a zodiac drive. You will have around 60 minutes here.
