We continue to enjoy memories of our cruise to the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island with Poseidon Expeditions. Each day, we looked forward to epic scenery; pristine beaches full of hundreds, often thousands, of  king penguins with their chicks; enormous elephant seals, mating or nursing their young; courting polar seabirds; and much more.
