South Georgia Island

After a few days on the seas, actually 800 miles from Elephant Island, the first color green (I believe) was found since leaving south America. the following are a few of the pictures that will pop up in new postings over the next few days from South Georgia.














King Penguins and Bertrab hanging glacier at Gold Harbour, South Georgia.





















King Penguins with place to go












A King Penguin 'Okie Boy'. They look quite miserable as they endure the molting process.





















I don't know if this King is pregnant, but if not, needs to go to the gym.





















More King Penguins.














King Penguins, Tussock Grass (which the fur seals like to flatten out) and water















This is an enormous breeding colony of King Penguins. The breeding takes place alll year round, so matter what time of year it is, there are penguins in all stages, from eggs and chicks, to sub-adults and adults. But this is not the largest breeding colony - that will be at St. Andrews Bay our next stop.

More south Georgia to come.
