Seabirds at Sea.

Part 6 in my Journey to Antarctica. If you enjoy the stories and photos, please comment and let me know!

We are well underway with no land in sight. After attending a few lectures regarding flora, fauna, and other things in between, I decide to take a break. What I want is fresh air.

Southern Giant Petral. Ocean between Argentina and Falkland Islands, Earth.

I head out to the back of the ship to feel the wind whip around me, and to watch the albatrosses and petrals gliding behind and besides our vessel in a coordinates dance that keeps them in the air.

Petral in Motion.

Their gentle flow carries them sometimes ahead, and sometimes behind, but in the same direction towards our next stop: the Falkland Islands.
