Albatross Alley






Today we visited our last stop on South Georgia, a bay called Elsehul. We’ve affectionately nick-named it Albatross Alley. As we blog, we’ve set sail for the Falkland Islands. At Elsehul, we saw, as you might expect, penguins, seals, and mostly, albatross. Some of these birds have a wing-span of 12 ft. These huge and graceful birds are especially spectacular when flying together in formation, looking like an air force squadron.

I loved Julia and Colin's questions from yesterday, why is that Penguin all black, is he on the wrong island?

The all black penguin could be
A. An Obama penguin
B. A member of the New Zealand "All Blacks," or
C. A minor mutation
