Chinstrap Penguins
It is not hard to guess why they are called Chinstraps once you have seen them. For a different type of Christmas / New Year experience we went with a small group to South America and Antarctica where we met our first of many penguins. The Quark Expeditions cruise was the perfect platform. With around 100 fellow travellers there was never a problem with landings and the experienced specialists amongst the crew made sure we came home with new-found knowledge as well as wonderful experiences and memories.
