Caption: From a visit to the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia aboard
the Hans Hansson:
We dropped anchor in Right Whale Bay on a bright, snowy morning and went ashore to explore.

Picture
Caption: We were greeted by Southern elephant seals, Fur seals and - King penguins.
Picture
Caption: Saw a few King penguins at first - swimming ashore and waddling inland.
But soon we spotted dozens of the
3 feet tall (1 meter) penguins
marching past a hauled out
Southern elephant seal.
And we followed the procession...

Caption: King penguins continued to arrive and the party in the foothills grew larger - stretching down the hillside and onto the plain.
Picture
Caption: For a few moments the sun broke through the clouds and the wind calmed down.

into the landscape.

Caption: Never like leaving a party, but it was time to cross the snowy plain for a nice warm lunch aboard the Hans Hansson.
