Otters in antarctica

The absence of otters in antarctic ecosystems

Unlike other regions of the world, Antarctica does not have native otters. The continent’s extreme climate and isolated ecosystem make it unsuitable for otter populations, which thrive in more temperate environments. Instead, the Southern Ocean is home to other marine mammals, such as seals and whales.

Discovering unique antarctic wildlife

While otters aren’t found in Antarctica, the experience of exploring this remote region offers opportunities to encounter a range of remarkable wildlife. Visitors can observe penguins, seals, and various whale species, each playing a vital role in the Antarctic ecosystem.
