Wildlife adventure on South Georgia

by Peter Niessen

Departure in November 2023

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: South Georgia

Ship: m/v Plancius

Highlights: Antarctic Fur Seal, Southern Elephant Seal, Fin Whale, Humpback Whale, Killer Whale, King Penguin, Leopard Seal, Macaroni Penguin, Magellanic Penguin, Wandering Albatross, Black-browed Albatross, Snow Petrel, Giant Petrel, Antarctic Shag, Grey-headed Albatross, Light-mantled Albatross, Pintado Petrel, Prion, South Polar Skua, Wilson's Storm Petrel, Antarctic Petrel, Snowy Sheathbill, South Georgia Pintail

Allthough due to local circumstances we were only able to explore part of South Georgia, we had a great time seeing such diverse and numerous wildlife. The sea days to cross from Ushuaia to South Georgia were quit rough, but the experience on the island was really worth itText
