South Georgia and the Falkland Islands
Steeped in Shackleton and whaling lore, and covered mostly in glaciers, South Georgia explodes with life: king, gentoo, and macaroni penguins, enormous elephant seals and a thriving fur seal population. On South Georgia you can observe one of the world’s great wildlife spectacles—tens of thousands of stately king penguins on a single beach. The Falkland Islands are equally impressive. This British Territory also adds a human element, with remote settlements and people living off the land. View This Trip

"Most Memorable Moments"
"The magic of seeing Antarctica for the first time in person; the vastness of the landscape and the quiet solitude (except for the penguin colonies) of the continent - a very peaceful feeling; the sunset on the night we camped with the echos of nearby glaciers cracking and calving; the blue hues in parts of the glaciers & icebergs - surreal; seeing and photographing all of the wildlife, especially the whales while cruising in the Zodiacs."
