Cetaceans like Peale’s Dolphins and Commerson’s Dolphins live in the waters surrounding the archipelago. The weather on these windswept and isolated islands will determine our exact itinerary and the exploration possibilities.
Stanley is the capital and charmingly British city of the Falkland Island. The Falkland Islands Museum is within walking distance of the waterfront promenade, as are the Governor's House, the cathedral, with its impressive whalebone arches outside, the war memorial, gift shops and pubs.

South Georgia offers a spectacular wilderness, and is the perfect place to see subantarctic wildlife. According to reports, the islands host up to 100 million seabirds including albatrosses, penguins prions, terns and petrels. Over 100,000 elephant seals, three million fur seals, and innumerable other penguins such as stately king and macaroni penguins compete for space on beaches like those of Salisbury Plain or St. Andrews Bay. This wilderness will be even more beautiful and vibrant with birds after the recently finished rat-eradication program.
