Our first landing was at Saisbury Plain, in Albatross Bay on the North of the island.
We were treated to a lovely sunrise as we arrived..
...plus welcoming King penguins.
Th re are an estimated 50,000 pairs of King penguins in the colony
Yes, it was cold
Though the locals were oblivious
The beach was full of pengiuns, elephant seals, and antarctic fur seals
We walked along the beach to the main colony
There were a number of advanced woolly chicks
Plus others were moulting, something penguins do each year
The baby seals were ever engaging
