Barrientos Island is in the Aitcho Islands group at the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula. This was our second landing, and we were buzzing with the experience of being able to be so close to such plentiful wildlife so unfazed by human presence. There are probably only a handful of places in the world where that is possiible - the Galapagos, I'm told, being one of them.
