When the silence of the Pole give way to chaos...millions of penguins, seals and sea birds wait impatiently for a break in the never ending polar winter, to go and spend the beautiful season an the Antarctic beaches. The forecasted good weather will last only four months, making a curious mixture of spring and summer when there is a break in the cold weather.
