Unfortunately, the swells and surf and wind were too substantial to allow us to land today, which was a great disappointment, considering it was our last day in the sub-Antarctic region, and considering the magnitude of the wildlife: thousands of King penguins, fur seals, and everything else. Some pictures here, but from more than 50 yards away and without high-powered photographic equipment, it's less impressive than the experience. At least we were able to watch the batches of penguins dive in and out of the surf, and watch the fur seal pups play with each other just like a batch of puppies, and watch the older males occasionally challenging each other for their territory. Quite remarkable. We want to come back.
