Circumnavigation of South Georgia With the Falkland Islands
 Summary
Our small-ship expedition cruise to South Georgia Island is also a celebration of our 20 years in the luxury adventure travel business. Join Zegrahm cofounders and sail from the Falkland Islands to the pristine shores of South Georgia, a photographic feast of snowcapped mountains, cascading glaciers, and stunning coves. Wildlife in countless numbers live in and around this panorama: thousands of king penguins; huge congregations of fur and elephant seals; and numerous seabird species, including the wandering albatross. Learn about Sir Ernest Shackleton and his extraordinary expedition to these southern realms.

Reports From The Field Circumnavigation of South Georgia
Today we saw South Georgia possibly at its finest. The sun came out and the early birds and photographers were on shore at Salisbury Plain to see its dramatic unveiling. The rest of us were happy to see blue skies when we awoke and were anxious to get ashore. The king penguin colony at Salisbury Plain is enormous. The sea of birds extends up a hillside and is surrounded on both sides by huge receding glaciers. We had until lunch time to explore the colony, and some of us managed to circumnavigate the whole of it on a long walk during that time.
