Neko Harbour - Antarctic Peninsula

On Friday afternoon, we had our first landing on the proper Antarctic continent.  The day was beautiful, we took lots of pictures of the surrounding mountains and glaciers, as well as of the locals - gentoo penguins.

Venerdi' pomeriggio abbiamo messo piede per la prima volta sul continente antartico.  La giornata era bellissima, abbiamo fatto tante foto degli iceberg, ghiacciai, montagne e degli abitanti - pinguini gentoo.
