Early season arrival also provides a front-row seat to an extraordinary wildlife spectacle – the courtship rituals of penguins. Adélie, chinstrap and gentoo all come ashore to mate and begin building their nests. Guests will witness colonies a flurry of activity—flipper-waving, pebble presenting, stone stealing and some heated showdowns over nesting space.
Options include:
South Georgia and The Falklands: Explore the wild and intriguing islands few have seen. Steeped in Shackleton and whaling lore, covered mostly in glaciers, South Georgia explodes with life: king, gentoo, and macaroni penguins, enormous elephant seals, and a thriving fur seal population. The Falkland Islands are equally impressive, with colonies of nesting albatross and rockhopper penguins, and stunning topographical features including white-sand beaches, vaulting cliffs, moors, and tussock grass.
