Important Information 

This website has no official relation to the activities of the German Antarctic Receiving Station (GARS) O'Higgins, the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy or the German Aerospace Center

About me: As a simple private individual I am only the initiator of this webcam project in the Antarctic, nothing else.

I reveived the kindly permission to provide you these Gentoo penguin webcam pictures on my private homepage, personally I never have been neither on O'Higgins nor somewhere else in the Antarctic! All infos on this page are my private statements and are not associated in any kind with the german authorities! Due to the fact that there are now thousands of webcam visitors each day worldwide we all say “Thank you very much!” to those german authorities mentioned above!

The webcam pictures from the two "official" station webcams come from the server of the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy, while the penguin webcam pictures (pictures 1+2 on the main page) are directly send from the antarctic on my private server.

The penguin camera was mounted 2004 in the very tight free time by the GARS O'Higgins crew member Reiner Wojdziak (Leipzig- Germany):

Above: Mr. Reiner Wojdziak (Leipzig, Germany), a crew member of GARS O'Higgins. He did mount and configure our Gentoo Penguin Webcam in his very tight free time in the Antarctic! Thank you veryvery much, Mr. Wojdziak!!! There would be no penguin webcam at all without his support!

Picture: That's me - Martin Grund - Germany -  on a backpack trip in a wild mountain range of East Siberia (Hamar Darban, not far from Lake Baikal, the deepest lake of the world.) I made this tour with a russian botanist and a journalist from Irkutsk. I like to travel without comfort and made already China, Russia/Siberia (several times) by backpack, USA, Israel, Lebanon, Spain, France, England, Estonia, Sweden, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Luxembourg, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republik, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, Lithuania... Maybe I forgot a country... ;-)
