An Inconvenience of Penguins

Have you ever dreamed of seeing penguins in their natural habitat, perched on an Antarctic ice floe, backed by a landscape of glacier-clad mountains?

Our free, exclusive guide introduces you to every species of penguin you can find in Antarctica and the Subantarctic, and how to see them on an expedition cruise.

Whether you’re a diehard penguin enthusiast or thinking of exploring the planet’s last great wilderness, this guide will tell you everything you need to know about the Antarctic icons, and how to put them at the heart of your next adventure.

When we heard about travel writer-turned polar guide Jamie Lafferty's quest to see species of penguin in the world, we knew we'd found the perfect story for our next film

We sent Swoop’s videographer Burnham to join him on board the AE Expedition ship Sylvia Earle on a cruise to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica, to tell Jamie's story on camera in his favourite places in the world: surrounded by penguins.

On the Swoop Antarctica blog, Jamie has written exclusively for us about what it’s like when a dream becomes an obsession – and how he felt when scientists named a new species not long after he first told his story.
