Atlantic Odyssey - Coopers Island and Drygalski Fjiord

7th April 2026

Heading in to Drygalski Fjiord with penguin rookeries of Chinstrap, Macaroni and Gentoo. A colony of Snow Petrels occur within the Fjiord which is unusual given it's distance from the Antarctic Peninsula. We managed to get great views of a pod of Orca's including a cute small calf. It was sad to say goodbye to South Georgia.
