Ice Island

The landscape of the stroll changes, as does the temperature when you enter the frozen most southerly lands of South America and arrive at Ice Island. Here the cold is the protagonist of everything you see.

Ice Island provides the First Ice Penguinarium in Andalucía .cold. landscape populated by a large family of King, Magellanic, Gentoo and Macaroni Penguins, the most complete collection of penguin species in Europe zoos.

The Penguinarium is an enclosure which faithfully reproduces the natural habitat of these likeable birds with temperatures which do not exceed 0 degrees centigrade, to achieve environmental conditions similar to those of the frozen cliffs of the southern-most lands of this Planet. This .cold. home accommodates a rocky peninsula covered in natural snow and surrounded by a large saltwater pool. The enclosure is fully glassed-in so that the penguins may be observed from all angles, how they live and how they .move., both in and out of the water.

In addition, a detailed selection of educational panels provide information about the most outstanding penguin species, curiosities about their original habitats and fauna with which they cohabit in the frozen lands of their origins. The penguin feeding time and a chance to see their excellent appetites should not be missed.

The Adventure continues above Ice Island where you can enjoy an adventure in the 3D cinema with the film .Planet SOS..

From here you arrive at La Placita de las Américas (Little Americas Square) where the La Colonial Restaurant-Cafeteria is located, an eatery with well-presented interior dining-room and extensive terraces. Very close by is the Selwo Marina gift shop, El Cofre de Indias (The Indies Treasure Chest), and the Souvenir Photo shop.
