Our crossing from Ushuaia to the Falkland Islands has been a perfect day for observing marine wildlife. Gentle winds and seas made spotting birds and whales easy and we had an excellent lecture from naturalist Santiago Imberti on the seabirds of the region, which helped us to identify them and understand their amazing lives. In addition to several species of birds, we also encountered two whales, a rare southern right whale and a lone bull sperm whale. It has been a great start to our expedition and only a taste of the fantastic wildlife to come!
