Cuverville Island & Glaciers
Cuverville Island is one of the most popular landing sites on the Antarctic peninsula with the largest breeding colony of Gentoo penguins on the island ~ nearly 5,000 breeding pairs scattered around the island. The Island itself was discovered and named by the famous De Gerlache’s Belgica expedition that happened in 1897-99. The island was named after a vice-admiral in the French Navy at the time.
The bare faced cliff that you can see in the photo is roughly about 252m|750ft in height and the entire island is about 2km wide and 2.5km in length. Last century the area was used as a floating whale factory area and there are still quite a few mooring chains and whale bones scattered around the area to remind us all of that time, which was less than 100 years ago.

This is a very beautiful photo and interesting description of the island's history. It is rare to come across interesting information about the Antarctic as it is still not opten for tourism. Thank you for sharing.

Assist me in taking down THE biggest abuser on steemit!
I exposed @berniesanders for what he really is in my posts.
Just take a look at any of my posts (which I HAD to spam constantly to drain his VP and also to get the exposure I needed) and you can see just how far the abuse goes by @berniesanders.
He even got lazy at one point in making alternate accounts to abuse with and made "nextgen-InsertNumberHere-" accounts!
Please, do your due dilligence and check out, not only my posts, but his steemd track record on upvotes/downvotes. He's got many many more accounts than just the ones I've found, I'm sure, but those were only the ones that I could PROVE were his beyond a shadow of a doubt (based on voting/downvoting patterns, delegations, transactions, etc!)!
The real abuser here is the one who cries "ABUSE!!" the most, it is, none other than the inbred, cousin-fucker, that is, @berniesanders! :))
Here's a link to one of my latest posts, showing @berniesanders' alternate account list! I believe it's STILL growing.. which is sad.. He truly is a sociopathic dipshit! Let's take this fucking piece of shit out, together! :)
