The King’s of South Georgia

September 9, 2026

After two days at sea, crossing from the Falklands, we arrive to the majestic landscape of South Georgia. Immense, rugged peaks, swathed in snow and ice rise from the ocean.

'Whales' in Wales. A glorious evening at Point Lynas lighthouse the other week. This was the start of our weeks holiday in Anglesey. A week that would be filled with dolphins, rock pooling and bird watching. Whats in a name? Writing about an incredible encounter with two southern right whales just off of Stanley in The Falklands with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions, got me thinking about why these whales are called right whales and what I would rename them if I had the chance... A day exploring Stanley in the Falklands. And what a glorious day! A new blog about my adventures in the Southern Ocean with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions. This time its the wonderful wildlife on and around Carcass Island, The Falklands... whales, LBJs and a super intelligent bird of prey. A weekend camping and bird ringing. Lots of young birds around in moult so looking rather scruffy! A weekend celebrating my oldests 11th birthday with family in Cornwall. Happy World Whale and Dolphin Day. Reflecting on the incredible encounters I had this March when down in the Southern Ocean with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions Imperial or Blue-eyed Shag. Such striking birds. These were nesting amongst the Black-browed Albatross on New Island, The Falklands
