Paradise Harbour, Antarctica

January 2005

Back to main Antarctica gallery


Paradise Harbour was so named by 19th century whalers who found it a perfect haven from the sometimes vicious waters of the Gerlache Strait, giving them the safe anchorage they needed whilst resting up for their next victims.

Today, with beautiful irony, it is often home to numerous minke and humpback whales, set against a staggering backdrop of icebergs, glaciers and icefields.
