Spent a good 4 months at King Edward Point (staying at Larsen House) winter 1995. Often awoke to elephant seals at the front door. good job we had an emergency exit. we had a great time down there. often going ski touring and exploring the island. I was a boat operator and looked after the damage which involved fibre glassing holes in the boats. while down there I made 6 snowboards with this skill. we'd get resupplied by ships every 6 weeks or so and every 2 weeks an airdrop from a Hercules. thanks for sharing ps we sailed in a flat bottom boat. 4 days of rough seas. epic

Hi! Love the video and your energy is contagious. Question, if I am most interested in seeing the highest density of king penguins on land, would you suggest choosing a vessel that goes in mid-late November or early March? I would really value your feedback. Thank you!
@TheNewbys

Hi Pamela, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. The King penguins are there all season so it doesn’t matter what month you decide to go. More Elephant seals in November might add to your experience? Can be chilly in November because it’s spring and there is still a lot of snow around. March less snow and easier to walk around, asp March has less male fur seals which is helpful for exploring.

Quark is affordable only if I share a room(still price is higher than Ponant), unlimited kayak and the voyage is in Dec 2022.

But seriously John, we can see your point of view, and why you would show concern. Having travelled there, and knowing how respectful the guides are we don’t fee the same way that you do. There are very strict rules about how you interact with wildlife and how you can land in Antarctica. IAATO the governing body for tourism in the southern polar regions has created strict guide lines to ensure animals are not disturbed. Worth also noting that recent research around Portlockroy has shown that penguins actually benefit from interaction with humans, this is shown by a growing colony, penguins actively seeking to nest near people! We feel that the more people know about these epic and special places the more they will want to protect them. We don’t expect you to change your mind on this, but we hope some of your concerns have been put to rest a little. 👍

It’s a tricky balance for sure, and one well flagged by you. Thanks. One sad aspect of this larger issue is that places like Antarctica and South Georgia are protected from harm because of the money that tourism brings, not in-spite of it. This is sad because not all habitats have this wealth, especially since tourism (Covid world) has all but stopped. Think big game parks in Africa, without park fees rangers have been left unpaid and so animals unprotected, poaching has followed. As you say, it’s a balance and one that is quite literally wobbling from one side to the other constantly, what can we do to help? Chose our guides wisely, time our trip for least disturbance, pay park fees, etc. Enjoy your travels friend. Let us know if you come across a place where balance, or not, has been found.

@TheNewbys
Жыл бұрын
Hi Calvin. Fly in fly out basically means you will start in the Falklands and end in the Falklands? There are no airports on SG. So in October I think it’s fair to expect at least 2.5 days of sailing each way to SG so probably about 5 days in total transiting, that’s if the weather is reasonable. I have spent 3 days in a storm coming back from SG before! It’s likely going to be a bit cold and maybe some rain too, a little grey possibly. If you luck out, and the sun shines, it will be golden and spectacular. Weather aside, male Elephant seals will be starting to build harems and there will be a huge amount of kings on the beaches. It will also be quiet, little tourist traffic that time of year. Best of luck with your voyage.

Hi Alexander, great that you worked there a few years, what did you do? I disagree with you, tourism does not destroy destinations it protects them. Landing fees and taxes charged to tourist for travelling to South Georgia and places like SG directly help to fund projects such rat eradication as well as ensuring that more invasive visits do not take place. I direct you to the IAATO web site which I’m sure you are familiar with. Yes, we can all agree that wild places should stay wild, but research has shown us that penguins like people (Port Lockroys expanding Gentoo population) and that money is needed to ensure environments are cared for and looked after ( expanding blue whale populations in southern SG) Thanks for dropping us a line friend, no doubt you would like to return to SG one day and we hope you do, likely that will be as a tourist? ;) 👍
