Excursion in Antarctica to Neko Harbour
March 7th, 2005 
Neko Harbour, along the Antarctic Peninsula is a place of amazing beauty, with majestic glaciers ending into the sea and releasing icebergs big like an house. The landscape in Neko Harbour during a beautiful sunny day, is probably one of the most beautiful you can see in Antarctica and, among the landscape, there are thousands of fur seals and Gentoo penguins wandering on the beach and swimming in the bay.

The Fur seals are quite aggressive and sometimes they to not hesitate to charge humans also. When walking it's particularly important to keep the correct distance from a fur seal and to not disturb them.
