Epic South Georgia & The Falkland Islands
South Georgia
In collaboration with Joseph Van Os Photo Safaris, (JVOPS) this amazing photographic expedition is offered by Denis Glennon AO, Iconic Images International, Australia and Shem Compion, C4 Images & Safaris, South Africa.

Joseph Van Os’ values sit very comfortably with Shem’s and mine. We are collaborating with JVOPS because of their common sense approach to pricing, their expertise and experience in catering for special groups within expeditions.
You have full access to JVOPS specialist polar region expedition leaders and presenters – a unique combination in the one trip. The expedition offers you the very best opportunities to capture the iconic images of one of the remotest part of the planet – be prepared to be overwhelmed by one of the great wonders of the natural world – all within a few meters of your lens. For the naturalist and wildlife photographer, South Georgia is surely the ultimate destination. Once deemed so removed from civilisation that men traded their lives to experience it, is now accessible on modern vessels for you to access, experience, photograph and forever remember.
Despite its extreme isolation, South Georgia ranks among the most vital breeding oases for one of the world’s greatest wildlife concentrations. Along the coastal fringe and on a scattering of small islands, stunning colonies of tens of thousands of king penguins, macaroni penguins and isolated assemblages of wandering albatrosses cover beach and tussock.
Shem in the Arctic
More than two million Antarctic fur seals – 95% of the world’s population – pile onto the island each summer, and half the world’s population of southern elephant seals comes to breed on South Georgia’s beaches.
It is the place where superlatives are born. The pinnacle and the zenith of nature’s creation—there are no adequate words to describe the awesome, wild beauty which is South Georgia. This phenomenal sub-Antarctic island—102 miles long and 24 miles wide, a mere speck in the vast Southern Ocean—is crowned by a wreath of flowing glaciers covering half of its expanse. The craggy scenery is no less spectacular than if the Alps had been hurled recklessly into the tempestuous ocean.
The Falklands are not to be dismissed, as the photographic and wildlife opportunities on these islands are diverse and iconic. Wind swept beaches with king penguins and surfing Gentoo penguins are some of the highlights, while the black browed albatross colonies are a sight to behold, with thousands upon thousands nesting within a few meters of you and your camera.

If you’ve dreamed of visiting South Georgia, or longed to return to its rugged shores, this Epic South Georgia 2019 photo tour offers an incredible opportunity to experience this fabulous island of penguins and ice for ten days of unparalleled photography. Our dedicated photo cruise visits the island’s most prolific wildlife habitats and scenic landscapes. We make shore landings primarily on the island’s northeast coast that teems with wildlife and photo opportunities.
This Epic South Georgia 2019 photography odyssey is an exclusive charter, and all aspects of the tour are focused so photography and wildlife observation are second to no other activity aboard ship. Once at South Georgia, travel time from location to location is very short, so we waste little time in transit. We usually reposition at night.
The expedition is purposefully timed very early in the season. The reasons for this are that we will be at South Georgia when occasional snowfall on the beaches is likely—the sight of tens of thousands of king penguins in the snow with serrate mountain and towering glacier backgrounds is breath-taking. Southern elephant seals are pupping and the gigantic bull beachmaster seals are engaged in titanic combat on the beaches—a spectacular event most visitors later in the season usually miss! In October, aggressive bull Antarctic fur seals are still mostly at sea, which allows us access to nesting areas of gray-headed albatrosses and light-mantled sooty albatrosses (that are usually impossible, later). The Antarctic fur seal population has grown so large that it is now often unmanageable to land on many beaches later in the season due to the increasing number of the dangerous aggressive bulls. In October, Prion Island is open to visitation and we photograph wandering albatrosses there. It closes to visitors later in November.
‘Warm’ Friends
During the tour, participants’ photography and wildlife interests shape our plans. On many days we stop at only one landing site, and our photography experience at these locations allows for virtually comprehensive coverage of the seasonal wildlife and rugged snowy landscapes. On these full days with only one landing, logistics will not require all participants to leave the shore, and optional bag lunches extend your shore time, weather permitting.
And, finally, we are only enrolling 78 participants on this expedition—less than half the size of most other cruises that visit the sub-Antarctic.
Our sturdy, repurposed, research-expedition ship allows us to travel comfortably while journeying to this magical land of penguins, mountains and glaciers. We carry a fleet of Jacques Cousteau-designed Zodiac landing craft, allowing us to set foot on very isolated shores. Perfectly suited to expedition cruising, these nimble craft enable passengers to travel in small groups and facilitate visits to some of the most spectacular wildlife concentrations in the world.
And, finally, our group of 20 participants is part of only 78 participants on this expedition, all catering to photographers and nature lovers,—less than half the size of most other cruises that visit the sub-Antarctic. Think of what that means in terms of the low number of people on board, our speed in getting to shore, and your ability to photograph and observe wildlife without scores of red-jacketed tourists in your frame.
It is a rare opportunity!
This South Georgia adventure is crafted to be everything you’ve hoped for – and more. Yet this expedition is not a once-in-a-lifetime trip. One trip in a lifetime to South Georgia could never be enough!
Highlights
The highlights are many; here is a small selection:
- Voyage especially designed by and for photographers wanting extended time at spectacular South Georgia.
- 10 shooting days of photography scheduled at South Georgia.
- 3 days of photography at the Falkland Islands.
Surfing Gentoo Penguins
- Early season benefits—good chance of snowfall to enhance photos, access to Prion Island nesting wandering albatrosses, huge bull elephant seals battling for females, few aggressive bull Antarctic fur seals have come ashore—allowing access to beaches usually too dangerous to visit later in the season, photograph gray-headed albatrosses on the nest.
- Few other ships will be in the area at this time—and it will seem like we have the entire island to ourselves—allowing more flexibility in landing site selection.
- We work closely with the Expedition Leader to ensure we are at the best locations for the most time, in the best light.
- The total number of passengers on the vessel is 78. This is very important as Antarctica regulations stipulate that no more than 100 people are allowed on shore at any one time. Thus means that everyone will be able to go ashore at the same time, maximizing photography time.
Parenting in Antarctica
- JVOPS’ policy is to try and spend as much time ashore at the wildlife sightings.
- One-on-one interactions with professional expedition leaders and photographers who will help you get the best possible results.
- In summary, the photography and expedition are designed to have a small group of nature and wildlife photographers experience eighteen nights on board one of the best smaller ships sailing the Antarctic region to give them the best opportunities for some amazing photography.

Tour Itinerary
Day 1 or Earlier
Depart from home.
Day 2 (Oct 9)
Arrive in Ushuaia, Argentina. The hotel tonight is included in the tour fee.
Day 3
The morning is free to explore the southernmost city in the world. An optional bus tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park with an asado (barbecue) lunch is available. Stores and shops in easy walking distance from our hotel are open, presenting a chance to stock up on some personal “snacks” or purchase forgotten items. In late afternoon we board our ship the MV Ushuaia and set sail to the Falkland Islands traversing the famous Beagle Channel. (BD)
MV Ushuaia
Day 4
We start our journey following the “Scotia Arc,” traveling with the prevailing current to the Falklands. We see a variety of birds, including our first ship-following black-browed and wandering albatrosses and hundreds of petrels and other “tubenoses.” On all “at sea” days throughout the cruise, there are discussions on photography, digital workflow, and natural history, as well as inspiring nature photo presentations. Plus, if wind conditions are favorable, great bird flight shots can be made on deck. (All meals are included while aboard ship.)
Day 5
The first landing of our voyage takes place on Sea Lion Island situated 10 miles southeast of East Falkland—the largest island in the Falkland Archipelago. A sheep farm for almost 100 years, Sea Lion Island is now a fantastic ecological reserve that provides great opportunities to photograph nesting Gentoo penguins, Falkland steamer ducks, ruddy-headed geese and huge elephant seals. Peale’s dolphins escort our Zodiacs to the beach and, with luck, a pod of orcas can be observed close to shore attracted by a potential meal of seals or penguins. Our one-day schedule here allows us to break up the crossing time to South Georgia and we will return to the Falklands for two more days on our return trip.
South Georgia Penguin Homage
Days 6–8
Departing the Falklands, our ship crosses the Scotia Sea. Although we are far from land, there is much to see, on deck or the bridge, if you are an active wildlife observer. Many birds follow the ship. Whales are a good possibility. Numerous leader presentations prepare us for the landings to come. Our course takes us across the Antarctic Convergence, the invisible boundary between the cold Antarctic waters and the warmer currents flowing from the South Atlantic. We start to see the first icebergs. Our next landfall is South Georgia, some 800 miles from the Falklands. Experiencing advantageous weather, we arrive at South Georgia the evening of Day 8 with a possible shore landing.
Days 9–18
With favourable crossing conditions we start our photography in earnest on Day 9. The freezing effects of the Antarctic continent—1,000 miles to the south—dominate South Georgia’s climate. Its landscape, reminiscent of the last ice age, is dotted with vast glaciers, meltwater streams, alluvial beaches and occasional offshore icebergs. The topography offers incredible landscape photography prospects.
Millions of penguins make the island their home and, in some places, complete hillsides are covered with them. There are more king penguins on South Georgia than on any other island on Earth and we visit their enormous colony—the incomparable Salisbury Plain—for two very full days of photography.
A quarter of a million albatrosses return here each year, including the spectacular wandering albatross. With its 10-foot wingspan, the wandering albatross is a truly immense bird, and South Georgia is home to half the world’s population. Under the cover of darkness to avoid predators, an estimated 10 million other seabirds—shearwaters, petrels and prions—return each night to the nest. Most of the small offshore islands are honeycombed with their underground burrows. Now, after an innovative rat eradication program, the South Georgia seabird colony is expected to expand by 100 million birds over the next several years!
Albatross Defiance
More than 4 million Antarctic fur seals—95 percent of the world’s population—pile onto the island later in the summer. The total population is thought to be increasing by ten percent each year! We are here early enough to miss the highest density of the aggressive bull seals and we should be able to reach the usually “inaccessible due to aggressive seals” nest sites of gray-headed albatrosses. Half the world’s population of southern elephant seals also comes to breed on South Georgia’s beaches. The largest of all seals, males can be over 20 feet (6m) long and weigh 8,800 pounds (4,000kg) or more. We are here at the height of the mating/fighting season—making for truly exciting photo opportunities!
Our ten days at South Georgia should allow us time to locate and photograph most of the more unusual nesting species, such as macaroni penguins, light-mantled sooty albatrosses and southern giant petrels, and give us time to find the best possible photo situations in several of the vast king penguin colonies. Potential landings include Salisbury Plain and Prion Island in the Bay of Isles for king penguins and wandering albatrosses, and a day each at wildlife-packed St. Andrews Bay and Cooper Bay for good measure. We have an extensive amount of flexibility built into our schedule and we direct our activities toward the best photographic situations possible. The experience is exceptional.
Days 19–21
Our nature and photography lectures continue while at sea toward the Falklands. The photographic potential for flight photography of wandering and black-browed albatrosses, northern and southern giant petrels, and Cape petrels is excellent during this crossing.
A Lone Penguin in Chick Land
Days 22–23
Saunders, West Point and Carcass Islands on the northwest side of the Falklands round out our trip’s photo opportunities. The “Neck” on Saunders features a large gentoo penguin colony with a throng of these photogenic birds riding the surf along with black-and-white Commerson’s dolphins. Oystercatchers and steamer ducks parade along the beach while, on a nearby slope, rockhopper penguins and black-browed albatrosses are just starting their breeding season.
Carcass Island and West Point Islands are home to camera-friendly colonies of Magellanic penguin and cheeky striated caracaras. Abundant ducks and small birds are found on Carcass since the island does not have introduced rats. West Point has an albatross colony plus abundant caracaras, turkey vultures and black-crowned night herons. We start our homeward voyage by late afternoon of Day 23.
Clumsy on land, they become graceful swimmers below the waves.
Day 24
Today we are at sea en route to Ushuaia.
Day 25 (Nov 1)
Arriving in Ushuaia, we clear Customs, disembark the ship, and transfer to the airport to depart for home.

Emergency Evacuation Insurance
Emergency evacuation insurance is MANDATORY for this tour.
Falklands Islands – the nearest evacuation location
Due to the extreme remoteness of the destinations in the itinerary, your travel insurance policy must include a minimum US$500,000 of emergency evacuation/medical coverage, including evidence of cover of pre-existing medical conditions (if applicable). Joseph Van Os Photo Safaris (JVOPS) offer a suitable/acceptable insurance policy but it is only available to US and Canadian residents.
If non-US or Canadian domiciled passengers are unable to obtain the above mentioned level of emergency evacuation/medical insurance, in their country of residence, JVOPS advise this may be addressed by purchasing two separate travel insurance policies:
(i) A ‘normal’ travel insurance policy purchased in your country of residence which covers risks such as cancellation costs, loss of photographic equipment, loss of personal items, etc.
(ii) A specific ‘Rescue Travel Insurance’ policy available from Ripcord Rescue Travel Insurance which cover non-US citizens for the required emergency evacuation/medical cover. This ‘Rescue Travel Insurance’ policy must be purchased from Ripcord Rescue Travel Insurance within 14 days of registration, by participants requiring pre-existing medical conditions to be insured. Medical conditions arising within and including 45 days prior to departure will not be covered. This policy includes the emergency evacuation coverage required for this tour. Participants purchasing travel insurance other than the above will be required to confirm that a minimum of US$500,000 of emergency evacuation is included in their policy.
