Antarctica
Falkland Islands - South Georgia - Antarctic Peninsula - Photography special
Meet at least six penguin species!
A cruise to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia & the Antarctic Peninsula. Visit some of the most beautiful arrays of wildlife on Earth. This journey will introduce you to at least 6 species of penguin and a whole lot of Antarctic fur seals! Photographic special This voyage encompasses some of the most spectacular, wildlife-rich places in the world with magnificent scenery, making it the ultimate photographic adventure. Antarctica and South Georgia are truly other-worldly places that every photographer with a keen interest in wildlife, landscapes and adventure should visit at least once in a lifetime. This voyage is deliberately timed to be early in the season to ensure pristine snowscapes, soft light and greater chances of breath-taking sunrises and sunsets. Nonetheless, you can expect the weather to be unpredictable and fast changing, but this can result in the most dramatic images if used to your advantage. In terms of wildlife, we hope to encounter displaying albatrosses, courting and nesting penguins in their several thousands, beaches covered in jostling seals and an array of different whales and dolphins. You may even be lucky enough to see some of the enormous Southern Elephant Seal beachmasters duelling for supremacy in South Georgia. One thing is for sure, the photographic opportunities will be endless. Days will be long with extended landing times, giving photographers ample time to create their master pieces whilst maximising the best photographic light at either end of the day. The team will be carefully hand-picked to ensure we have the most competent Zodiac drivers who understand photographers’ requirements, whilst being on hand to give photographic guidance at crucial moments. During our days at sea, there will be photographic tutorials, image review and editing sessions, alongside the regular programmes of wildlife, geographical and historical lectures to ensure the most rounded insight into these incredible destinations. This truly is an expedition like no other, perfect for the avid photographer or wildlife enthusiast alike. Ski Trekking South Georgia A group of adventurers aboard this voyage will travel part of Shackleton's historic route through South Georgia. They will begin their adventure in King Haakon Bay and be picked up a few days later in Stromness Bay. This is not an activity offered to guests aboard this voyage, and has been pre-arranged. Landings and excursions will be adapted where required to ensure a safe pickup for the ski group in Stromness Bay.
