The Antarctic Peninsula is the northern-most part of Antarctica, and is claimed by several nation-states, none of which 'own' that real estate.

The peninsula is also where most tourists visit the continent. It is the warmest part of Antarctica, and the sea ice around it is not as present for as long as it is around other parts of the continent.

Some say that the Lamarie Channel is the most beautiful geography on earth, photogenically.

The channel is 1,600 metres wide, 11 km long and lies between the Kiev Peninsula, Booth Island and Graham Land on the continent. The channel is bounded by steep cliffs and the channel is often filled with icebergs.

You can locate the channel using these coordinates: 65.1113° S, 63.9993° W.
