An excellent Oceanwide 18 day trip to the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica. Fantastic to walk amongst the wildlife in all 3 places. Watching the young male Elephant Seals 'fighting' at 2 beaches on South Georgia was truly extraordinary, especially as they were in the amidst hundreds of King Penguins and fur seals...
