Falkland Islands, South Georgia & Antarctica - Birding Special - 19 days
About this trip
This nineteen-day birding voyage brings together all the (sub-)Antarctic highlights in a single journey, with spectacular landing sites on the Falkland Islands and encounters with black-browed albatrosses and rockhopper penguins. You'll have the chance to meet at least six different penguin species along the way.
The expedition explores the transition from the sub-Antarctic to the true Antarctic, revealing how a drop in temperature transforms the colours of the landscape, from the warmer tones of the sub-Antarctic to the icy, rugged beauty of the far south. The voyage also includes four days on South Georgia, with its tens of thousands of king penguins, sea lions, elephant seals and wandering albatrosses. Setting out from Ushuaia, it is an unforgettable wildlife experience.
All (sub-)Antarctic highlights in one voyage, with spectacular landing sites on the Falkland Islands and encounters with black-browed albatrosses and rockhopper pinguins. You'll have the chance to meet at least six different penguin species. You'll explore the transition from the sub-Antarctic to the Antarctic Polar Region, experiencing how the drop in temperature can make a huge impact on the colours of the surrounding landscapes; from the warmer tones of the sub-Antarctic side to the icy rugged beauty of the true Antarctic. Witness how those few degrees of difference in the transition zone can make the difference between an animal or plant species choosing to live on one side of the Antarctic Convergence (the Polar Front) or the other. This cruise includes also four days on South Georgia, probably the most beautiful place on earth. Be prepared for ten thousands of king penguins and their chicks, sea lions on the beaches, elephant seals, wandering albatrosses and
