I've seen South Polar Skuas/Brown Skuas (very difficult to tell apart as they both coexist at this location), Elephant Seals, Gentoo Penguins, Southern Giant Petrels, Wilson's Storm petrels, Antarctic Terns, and other people have seen the occasional chinstrap penguin. Minke whales and orcas were seen but at a great distance.

Have you been able to see any of the petrels, skuas, or other ocean birds in Antarctica?
