Antarctica, South Georgia & the Falklands

EXPERIENCE THE GREATEST WILDLIFE SPECTACLE ON EARTH

IT IS AN ASTONISHING SIGHT—100,000+ KING PENGUINS IN ONE

rookery. The sheer biomass, the ruckus, the sensory overload will stop you in your tracks. But the profusion of life in South

Georgia goes so far beyond this one spectacle that it boggles the mind and sends your spirit soaring. Dense colonies of macaroni and gentoo penguins, lolling fur seals, and 8,000-pound elephant seals. In the Falklands, find cliffs teeming with blackbrowed, albatross—nearly a third of all birds of this species nest here. Discover the fascinating human history in Shackleton’s heroics, the whaling lore of Stromness in South Georgia, and in

the remote settlements of the Falklands.

Choose from three expeditions: the ultimate trifecta expedition to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falklands. Or, if you’ve already explored Antarctica, consider two adventurous, deeply rewarding options. Our South Georgia & the Falklands voyage goes to the heart of this epic wildlife spectacle. And our Wild Coasts itinerary

takes you from the Argentine annual breeding grounds of the southern right whale to South Georgia and the Falklands.
