South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula - aboard m/v Plancius October 23 to November 14, 2025 Group Trip

Earth’s Greatest Wildlife Destination

Escorted by: Scott Davis and Hugh Rose

Experience the vibrant spring of South Georgia Island and the early season of the Antarctic Peninsula. Beneath the towering, snow-blanketed mountains of South Georgia Island, observe and photograph special wildlife behaviors seldom seen. This time of year is the only time you can find southern elephant seal bulls fighting for territories while females nurse their pups, awkward young wandering albatross attempting their first flight, and distinctly marked gray-headed albatross attending to their cliffside nests. You’ll stand amongst vast colonies of king penguins and watch macaroni penguins launching into the ocean.

Scott Davis : "I have guided to Antarctica for 16 years, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the region."
