Probably the biggest attraction of this cruise is South Georgia. It is rightly famed for its king penguins, and in this set of photos I tried to portray our first encounters with both the penguin inhabitants (tourists in red, natives in black and white) and the dramatic landscape of Salisbury Plain.
Ernest Shackleton probably crossed the mountains in the background during his rescue mission.
There are probably more than one hundred thousand king penguins in this photo, perhaps as many as half a million on the island.
The penguins were just as curious about us as we were about them.
