Can you tell the difference between a gentoo penguin and a chinstrap penguin? Gentoos are by far the most populous and recognisable. They're much bigger than chinstrap penguins and have bright orange beaks. Chinstrap penguins have no colour and have a black stripe on their chin (hence the name chinstrap).
Elephant seals are known to be the biggest, loudest seal around! During mating season, males will battle for their portion of the beach. It's a high-stakes game with the winner taking a harem of 40-50 females for that mating season! If you're lucky, you'll get to see two males roaring at each other as they fight for dominance.
In between the rocks and penguins, you'll spot a statue of a proud Navy officer. This lonesome bust pays homage to Luis Antonio Pardo Villalòn, the driver of the rescue tugboat that helped save Shackleton's crew. This area is named 'Point Wild' after Frank Wild, the man who ensured the survival of the crew left behind awaiting Shackleton's return and rescue.
