Tucker Islet is where you can see Magellanic Penguins and Cormorants. We were not allowed to land the Tucker Islet, therefore we were on a zodiac riding around the island. On the rough water side of the island, there is a beach for Penguins to gather around walking and swimming. We spotted over 30 Penguins over there. On our way back to the Mare Australis, we saw Dolphins swimming along our zodiac.

Ainsworth Bay / Tucker Islet – Nov 18, 2007
This was the 1st day of the Mare Australis cruise along the Magellan Channel. The 1st stop was the Ainsworth Bay. It is an untouched area where we can get landing by zodiac (rubber boat) only. It was the beginning of the springtime over there, however, we ran into sunshine, raining and snowing during our 2 hours hike. We saw lots of “never seen before” types of vegetation in Ainsworth Bay. We also spotted some Elephant Seals.
