Swimming in Antarctica
June 19, 2015 - Antarctica: The winter solstice is celebrated in Antarctica with a bracing swim by expeditioners in -1.8°C waters. The midwinter tradition involves a quick dip into a specially created ice hole. The chilling practice, often under the Southern Aurora and spectacular skies, marks the end of months of darkness and heralds temperature rises to slightly less intolerable levels.

With Saturday (25 April) being World Penguin Day, wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein has shared some of his favourite pictures of the aquatic, flightless birds.
Wimbledon-based Paul, who guides for Exodus Travels, has led many expeditions to the poles on small ice-breakers, so has had great opportunites to document penguin behaviour.
He explains: "I love the polar bears of the North but there is something magical about the penguins down South that entrance me. Yes it can be a mission to get there but it is palpably worth it.

Emperor Penguins, Snow Hill, Antarctica. Paul says: "Way down in Antarctica on the eastern peninsular I was stuck in the ice for a week along with 100 people. Off the stern of the ship we watched Emperor penguins on their migratory routes. You had to gamble where they were going to come up so virtually impossible to get the shot, but once one had jumped you could bet the others would follow, in this instance 'more is more' - this was the only time three jumped simultaneously."

These hilarious images show why you should never p-p-pick on a penguin.
A young seal got in a flap when it ventured into a breeding colony of Gentoo penguins - and got a peck on its posterior for its troubles.
Wildlife photographer Roy Mangersnes captured not only the beaky bite on the bum, but also the pained expression on the seal's face.
Roy, who was leading a tour of the Shetland Islands in the Antarctic, explains: "The elephant seal pup was making problems for the breeding gentoo penguins, crushing eggs as it moved through the rookery."

The Beauty Of Being Stranded In The Antarctic
It was the story that made headlines around the world as an expedition found itself stuck in Antarctic waters just before Christmas.
Reports of the eventual rescue after ten days stranded in pack ice were aided by the vibrant photography of expedition doctor Andrew Peacock.
Now, having arrived safely back in Queensland, Australia, on Wednesday (29 Jan), Dr Peacock has had time to reflect on his experience and select some of his favourite photographs from the expedition.
The 46-year-old was a member of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) on board the M.V. Akademik Shokalskiy, a chartered Russian vessel beset in ice on 23 December.
Chinese Icebreaker Xue Long was unable to forge a path to extricate the Shokalskiy, but was able to send a helicopter to evacuate passengers to the Australian ship Aurora Australis.
Dr Peacock's pictures range from playful images of crew interaction with adelie penguins to a stunning artistic capture of the vessel's path through an "iceberg alley".
Speaking from his Queensland home, Dr Peacock explains: "I was asked to be the AAE doctor by a climbing friend, Greg Mortimer, one of Australia's most lauded mountaineers. In addition to working in expedition medicine and as an A&E and GP locum, I am an adventure travel photographer and as usual - and deliberately - on these trips I 'morph' into the expedition photographer, giving instruction and talks on photography to the clients.

The Beauty Of Being Stranded In The Antarctic
It was the story that made headlines around the world as an expedition found itself stuck in Antarctic waters just before Christmas.
Reports of the eventual rescue after ten days stranded in pack ice were aided by the vibrant photography of expedition doctor Andrew Peacock.
Now, having arrived safely back in Queensland, Australia, on Wednesday (29 Jan), Dr Peacock has had time to reflect on his experience and select some of his favourite photographs from the expedition.
The 46-year-old was a member of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) on board the M.V. Akademik Shokalskiy, a chartered Russian vessel beset in ice on 23 December.
Chinese Icebreaker Xue Long was unable to forge a path to extricate the Shokalskiy, but was able to send a helicopter to evacuate passengers to the Australian ship Aurora Australis.
Dr Peacock's pictures range from playful images of crew interaction with adelie penguins to a stunning artistic capture of the vessel's path through an "iceberg alley".
Speaking from his Queensland home, Dr Peacock explains: "I was asked to be the AAE doctor by a climbing friend, Greg Mortimer, one of Australia's most lauded mountaineers. In addition to working in expedition medicine and as an A&E and GP locum, I am an adventure travel photographer and as usual - and deliberately - on these trips I 'morph' into the expedition photographer, giving instruction and talks on photography to the clients.
"Being an expedition doctor can be a thankless task because I'm only useful when things go wrong and nobody wants that to happen so it's always been seen as a good thing to have another useful skill to add to the mix so that I can a...

Curious penguin tries to eat camera left by a geologist in Antarctica - 06 Dec 2013

Curious Penguin Tries To Eat Camera
A penguin bit off more than it could chew when it tried to eat a camera left in the snow by a geologist in Antarctica.
The Gentoo Penguin is filmed waddling up to the camera and opening its large red beak to eat it.
But the penguin quickly discovers it is not as tasty as it looks and wanders off to find some fish instead.
The cute sequence, which shows the penguin up close and personal, looks like something from the popular children's Pingu cartoon.
The camera was left near a penguin highway on Cuverville Island for a couple of hours by a geologist, who was on a tour of Antarctica with G Adventures, which owns and operates the expedition vessel MS Expedition.
Cuverville Island is one of the largest Gentoo penguin colonies.
A member of the expedition team posted the image on Twitter and wrote: "This Gentoo #hashPenguin just ate our @GoPro. #hashAntarctica'
They later added: "Bird-selfies, so hot right now. Or in our case, very cold."
Gentoo penguins are easily recognized by the wide white stripe, which extends like a bonnet across their heads and their bright orange-red bill.
They have pale whitish-pink webbed feet and a fairly long tail - the most prominent tail of all penguins.
As the Gentoo penguin waddles along on land, its tail sticks out behind, sweeping from side to side, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, which means "rump-tailed."
Adult Gentoos reach a height of 51 to 90 cm making them the third largest species of penguin.
They are the fastest underwater swimming penguins, reaching speeds of 36 km/h (22 mph) and are adapted to very harsh cold condition.
