Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill has come to the Antarctic to visit the only permanent church in the South Pole, to talk with scientists at a Russian polar station, and of course to congregate with penguins.

The religious leader is seen walking the shore in a warm polar coat donned over his traditional robes, while scientists talk to him about the penguins and their behavior.

Holy Trinity Church, Antarctica

The wooden Holy Trinity church was built in the early 2000s and is the only permanent place of worship in the Antarctic.

The visit comes as part of Kirill’s Latin America trip, which saw an unprecedented historic meeting with Pope Francis in Havana on February 12.
