Watch Emperor Penguins Care for Their Chicks

Saturday August 26, 2006

If you're reaching into the refrigerator for more ice cubes to slide into that drink, start picturing a scene where everything is cool, from the icebergs to the snow that the Emperor penguins are marching over as they care for their young chicks. On the Quark Expeditions Snow Hill Island Safari you'll be flown to the ice near the rookery so you can get an up-close view. It's the highlight of this trip on an icebreaker cruise to the Antarctica.
