Deception Island
South Shetland Islands
It's a ring-shaped island with a super-sized natural harbor in its center. Tourists in bathing suits relish the thermal-heated waters.

Elephant Island
South Shetland Islands
Stranded crew members of explorer Shackleton's ship survived a cruel winter here in 1916. The isle was named for its large elephant seal population. There are penguins, too, including the chinstrap species.

Sea Lion Island
This small island teems with wildlife, including penguins and sea lions.

South Georgia Island
Millions of macaroni penguins breed here. The island has rugged, glacier-clad, snow-capped mountains - and was once a major whaling center.

Falkland Islands
They have wildlife, including rockhopper penguins and sea lions. See my negative comment about it on page one.
