AT SEA - SOUTH GEORGIA TO FALKLAND ISLANDS PHOTO GALLERY

 

 

On February 6, we were supposed to spend the day in the Bay of Isles. However, the wind was howling at 115 mph so we couldn't make a landing. We cruised around the islands for awhile, hoping the wind would die but it didn't. So we headed off to our next destination - the Falkland Islands. Hundreds of sea birds followed us. In the early evening we passed very close to the most photogenic iceberg encountered during the entire voyage. The next morning we passed by the dramatic and isolated Shag Rocks with a huge number of shags perched on their sharp-pointed pinnacles that rise over 300 ft above the surface.
