BIRD’S-EYE-VIEW

The Falkland and South Georgia islands are two of the few places in the world where you can see albatross. Seeing these graceful birds glide across a clean blue sky and standing guard at their chick-filled nests is a sight you’ll likely never forget.

As well as albatross, you’ll see some 100 million species of seabirds on South Georgia alone, including prions, petrels, and terns. Over in the Falklands, bird lovers can admire the endemic flightless steamer duck, black-crowned night heron, rock cormorants and many more.

ROYAL ENCOUNTERS

How could we talk about birds in the Subantarctic islands and not mention penguins? In the Falklands, gentoo, Magellanic and rockhopper penguins can all be seen walking across the sand, exploring the tussac grass and splashing on the shoreline.
