Aboard National Geographic Explorer, National Geographic Endurance, and National Geographic Resolution EXPEDITION HIGHLIGHTS
• South Georgia explodes with life: colonies of macaroni penguins, lolling fur seals, and 8,000-lb. elephant seals. An astonishing 100,000 king penguins in one rookery will stop you in your tracks. • Get close-up views of magnificent black-browed albatross and irresistible rockhopper penguins in the Falklands. • Paddle a kayak and Zodiac cruise in quiet bays. Capture your best images alongside a National Geographic photographer. • Trace the story of Shackleton’s fateful 1914-16 journey and toast “The Boss” at his gravesite in South Georgia. • On some departures, you’ll have the special opportunity to fly by private charter from the Falklands to Santiago, eliminating the sea crossing one-way.
