This is about 8 images stitched together of the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia, taken as we headed out for the Antarctic peninsula

Two penguins going at it on a small iceberg
This is one iceberg that has melted in the middle so we could drive our boat through it
Another panorama, this was taken in the Gerlache Straits
One of the many great sunsets, happening close to midnight each night
The Ioffe in Whalers Bay, Deception Island
Since the volcano that made this island is still active the beach is much warmer that the sea, making this great foggy mist
One of the old boats used in some way for whale hunting in the 40's
These were large whale bones, probably left by whalers decades ago.
One of the many seals we saw on Half Moon Island
The Macaroni Penguin of Half Moon Island
