“[Penguins] are extraordinary like children, these little people of the Antarctic world, either like
children or like old men, full of their importance and late for dinner, in their black tail-coats and

Our ALE meteorologists track the weather to assist in planning smooth expeditions and cool experiences for our guests. Check out the latest video on our NEW YouTube Channel to see how it's done!
