Six hundred miles south of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica is surely the ultimate destination for wildlife enthusiasts. Find yourself at close quarters with large rookeries of penguins and seal colonies, and spot whales plying the icy offshore waters. By contrast the Falkland Islands provide shelter and breeding grounds for over 70 different species of bird and mammal. The prolfic wildlife and the vast remote land and snowscapes add to the fascination of this true wilderness.
