Atlantic Odyssey - At sea to South Georgia

2nd April 2026

The start of several sea days heading to South Georgia. 

Light-mantled Albatross

Northern Giant Petrel

The photo below is, I think, of an adult Snowy Albatross Diomedea [exulans] exulans. It could be a 3rd cycle male but i've opted for an adult female due to the presence of a dark cap and some dark feathers within the rump area. There was some discussion on whether it showed features of 'Antipodean' Diomedea [exulans] antipodensis.
