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.
