Magdalena Island is a small, uninhabited island in the Strait of Magellan, northeast of Punta Arenas in Chilean Patagonia. It forms part of the Magdalena Island National Park, together with nearby Marta Island, and is best known for its large colony of Magellanic penguins. The island consists largely of low, windswept terrain covered with grasses and other hardy vegetation, surrounded by cold waters and exposed to the strong weather of the strait.
The Alabama Hills are one of Lone Pine’s most recognizable attractions, with rounded orange and brown rock formations set against the steep Sierra Nevada. Numerous roads and trails provide access to arches, boulders, and viewpoints across the area. Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the contiguous United States, rises west of town, while the Inyo National Forest and surrounding wilderness areas provide opportunities for hiking, climbing, fishing, and wildlife observation.

Café culture is on the rise here, so grab yourself a table and a cup.

No place on Earth quite compares to Antarctica, this stunning and vast continent is cold and windy, containing 90% of the ice in the world. Those who brave a visit here are rewarded with beautiful glaciers that must be seen to be believed, and a vast array of wildlife such as whales, penguins, Arctic foxes and seals. Antarctica is the only permanent landing area for the Emperor Penguins. Many of the historic explorer huts remain on the island for visitors to see.

Drake Passage
Drake Passage is a stretch of ocean between Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands near Antarctica. It connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is widely known for rough seas, powerful currents, and rapidly changing weather.
South Shetland Islands
Mist, research stations, and penguins are just a few of the things that define the South Shetland Islands, an archipelago off the coast of Antarctica. These 11 Antarctic islands, most notably King George Island, have served as a base for researchers from Chile, Argentina, and a variety of other countries. The archipelago has also become a popular cruise destination for tourists to the Antarctic region.
