Even though penguins are are to be found many thousands kilometers north as well, the proximity to Antarctica is making Ushuaia one of the best places to see penguins.

So we book a tour on a boat to see these wonderful animals.

It was a fantastic day. Lots of animals, not just penguins on a relaxing boat trip.

We were really enjoying this a lot.

Cormorants…

There are many little islands on the Beagle Channel.

Many sea lions “hang around” here as well…

They make everything looking cozy…

This one is having a little swim.

What a male…

Food on its way….

They tried not to get any wet feet…

… unsuccessfully.

The colony is huge…
