South Georgia Island: If wildlife is your dream, dream no more - visit South Georgia.
28 days. Departure November 6th, 2010
No where in the world is there a wildlife experience like South Georgia Island (SGI). With its stunning backdrop of mountainous peaks, and coastline that gives birth to sweeping glacial feeds, SGI is rugged, raw, and remote -- an isolation that has allowed wildlife to flourish in unimaginable breadth and number.
Cut off a slice of Antarctica and move it north to the very fringe of the Antarctic convergence zone - where cold waters meet warm … add moderate temperatures and remove human predators …and you have the perfect recipe for an animal playground and breeding haven! South Georgia Island is home to a dizzying number of wildlife that can only be estimated … where millions of seals, birds and penguins play on communal shores in a cacophony of sounds that stays with you the rest of your life.
Activities including walking, extraordinary hiking like the "Shackleton Route", lingering in the midst of animal colonies, and exploration of abandoned sites.
Xplore departs Stanley, Falkland Island early November 2010 and heads east to the shores of SGI where history has made and broken men over time, while the whalers and early polar explorers made their mark on this fascinating location as well. Come to a place that so few people visit; and is so unknown, people often ask ‘Where in America is that?’!
