Bleaker Island, Falkland Islands
Bleaker Island was first known as Long Island. It subsequently became Breaker Island after the large waves that crash against it, but since at least 1857 it has been called Bleaker Island. Forty different breeding birds have been recorded including Magellanic, southern rockhopper, macaroni, and gentoo penguins, and a very large colony of imperial cormorants. Peale's dolphins reside in the bays south of the settlements year-round. ... Read More

Day 7
South Georgia Island
South Georgia's abundant wildlife has earned it the nickname 'Serengeti of the Southern Ocean'. Its unique position free from sea ice makes the island a breeding site for large colonies of penguins, other seabirds, and seals. By mid-March, the breeding season is beginning to wind down, but the island remains full of life, with penguin chicks forming creches, fur seal pups active along the beaches, and seabirds still busy feeding and fledging. In fact, it's an Important Bird Area, home to albatrosses, petrels, shags, skuas, and terns. You'll spend four days exploring this remarkable area. We'll also try to reach Grytviken, the final resting place of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. As always, our plans are guided by nature, responding to daily conditions and wildlife activity. ... Read More

Day 15
Cruising the Atlantic Ocean
On our sea days between the Falklands and Montevideo, our ship becomes a moving wildlife observatory. As we head north at the end of the season, we'll be sailing alongside nature's great migration - whales beginning their journey from Antarctic feeding grounds toward warmer waters, and seabirds tracking the same invisible ocean highways. From the decks (and often right from the ship's side), keep watch for blows on the horizon, breaching moments, and the effortless glide of albatrosses and other pelagic birds riding the wind. With the Expedition Team on hand to help spot and identify species, these days at sea turn into a shared 'migration watch', combining real-time observations with talks and briefings that bring the journey - and the ocean's wildlife corridors - to life. This is the perfect time to go through your pictures and relive your experiences in Falklands and South Georgia. Enjoy the onboard comforts one last time. Relax in the hot tubs or sauna or unwind in the Explorer Lounge & Bar. Plus, you can join the Expedition Team in the Science Centre for further investigations and contribute to Citizen Science projects. ... Read More

Don't miss the colorful Mercado del Puerto, a lively spot selling traditional Uruguayan cuisine. This is your chance to soak in Montevideo's culture, history, and waterfront at your own pace. ...
