West Point Island, Falkland
2 Aralık 2017, Falkland adaları
It was time to get ready for our first disembarkation at West Point Island which has been owned by the Napier family since 1959.

We enjoyed watching the strangest community of neighbours - Black-browed Albatross and Rockhopper Penguin. You may wonder why they nest so close together. The penguins benefit from the long necks of the sky-pointing albatrosses if predators, such as caracaras, fly over. But do the albatrosses gain anything from their smaller distant cousins? Judging from the frequent disputes between them, nothing at all! We believe that the albatross regard the Rockhopper as noisy, useless neighbours! They can’t even fly!

On the island were also Ashy-Headed Geese, Falkland Flightless Steamerduck and a pair of Greater Kelp Geese.Okumaya devam et

Carcass Island
2 Aralık 2017, Falkland adaları
Named after HMS Carcass which visited in the late 18th century, Carcass Island is located in the northwest of the Falklands archipelago.

The terrain is varied with rocky ridges, steep cliffs, open plains, white sand beaches and pretty coves. The highest point is Mount Byng at 213m (700 feet). Carcass Island is a carefully managed farm with sheep and cattle.

It is an important bird area with many ground nesting birds including the endemic Cobbs’s Wren and songbirds such as the Tussac bird, Ground Tyrant, Pipit, Thrush, Long-tailed Meadowlark, Grass Wren and the Flightless Steamer Duck who is a permanent Falkland resident.

Gentoo and Magellanic Penguins breed on the Island and there are many Striated Caracaras.Okumaya devam et

Port Stanley and Gypsy Cove
3 Aralık 2017, Falkland adaları
Stanley, formerly known as Port Stanley, is the capital of the Falkland Islands. It was founded in 1843, and today is home to more than 2,115 people. Different architectural styles characterise Stanley along with features of the British heritage and there are streets of brightly painted houses. By the waterfront, a whalebone arch stands near the entrance of Christ Church Cathedral, which was built in the late 1800s. Memorials also feature along the seafront, the Battle of the Falklands, World War II, the 1982 conflict and a special monument for the Royal Marines.

Gypsy Cove is 6.5 km from Stanley and is part of the Cape Pembroke peninsula which is a National Nature Reserve. The small bay with its white sand beach is sheltered from prevailing winds. Magellanic penguins, also known as Jackass because of their braying sounds, breed here, nesting underground in burrows. We also saw black-crowned night-herons.

Before departing the crew did "man overboard" training.Okumaya devam et

Falkland Island to South Georgia Island
4 Aralık 2017, Güney Georgia ve Güney Sandwich Adaları
Leaving the Falkland Islands, we chart a southeast course bound for the island of South Georgia. These days at sea were never dull. Much of our time is spent scanning the horizon in search of whales and other marine mammals as well as seabirds that join us in the Southern Ocean. Our polar experts continue to fill our minds with heroic stories of some of the earliest Antarctic explorers including the epic story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the HMS Endurance expedition.

As we near South Georgia, and cross the Antarctic Convergence, there is a dramatic drop in temperature. The Antarctic Convergence is a meeting of cold polar water flowing north and warmer equatorial water moving in the opposite direction. This mixing pushes nutrient rich waters to the surface attracting a variety of seabirds, whales and other species.Okumaya devam et

It was a cold and wet day when we disembarked. Salisbury Plain lies between the mouths of Grace and Lucas glaciers.

It is best known as the breeding site for as many as 60,000 King Penguins and its beach was also covered with many Southern Elephant seals and Antarctic Fur Seals. We also saw some South Georgia Pintail.Okumaya devam et

7 Aralık 2017, Güney Georgia ve Güney Sandwich Adaları
It was a beautiful morning at Gold Harbour - so called because the sun's rays make the cliffs yellow with their light in the morning and evening. The area is a breeding ground for penguins include King Penguins and Gentoo Penguins, and Southern Elephant Seals also breed here, especially at the west end of the beach, where a glacial stream flows. Light-mantled Albatrosses also breed here.Okumaya devam et

7 Aralık 2017, Güney Georgia ve Güney Sandwich Adaları
Stromness is a former whaling station and was the destination of Ernest Shackleton's rescue journey in 1916.

We arrived in the afternoon and it was very windy, cold with sleet. We chose to stay in the warmth of the ship. Most went a shore, but many wished they had also stayed on board.Okumaya devam et

Grytviken, South Georgia
8 Aralık 2017, Güney Georgia ve Güney Sandwich Adaları
Grytviken means ‘pot cove’ in Norwegian, named for trypots left over from sealing days that were found there. Larsen established the site in 1904; the first permanent settlement on South Georgia. The original prefabricated buildings and equipment arrived on board the Louise, the wreck that lies on the shorelines below the cemetery. The station originally consisted of three buildings, a slipway and three blubber cookers. It expanded over the years to incorporate meat and bone cookers, laboratories, workshops, storehouses, a church and even a cinema. It remained one of the largest stations, second only to that at Leith Harbour, and was also the only one to run continuously from its establishment in 1904 to the end of whaling on South Georgia in 1964.

We visited the grave of Sir Ernest Shackleton and there is an excellent museum at Grytviken.

This was our first day walking in deep snow which can be challenging with aggressive fur seals around.Okumaya devam et

8 Aralık 2017, Güney Georgia ve Güney Sandwich Adaları
Jason Harbour is a bay 1.6 km wide, lying west of Allen Bay in the north side of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia.

Our first obstacle was getting passed the aggressive Fur Seals on the beach and on the flat land behind. We did a hike up a hill behind the bay which gave us great views.Okumaya devam et

Point Wild, Elephant Island
10 Aralık 2017, Antarktika
When the mist lifted, we got a glimpse of the dark cliffs of Point Wild at Elephant Island. Shackleton and his men were encamped here for many months, having lost HMS Endurance in the thick sea ice, far to the south in the Weddell Sea in 1915.

From the tiny beach at Point Wild, Shackleton and six companions set off on the rescue mission to South Georgia, aboard the tiny lifeboat, James Caird. To this day, the epic ocean crossing is considered one of the greatest in history.Okumaya devam et
