The South Shetland Islands are about 200 km north of the Antarctic Peninsula. There are more than 20 wild islands in the archipelago, including King George Island, where several scientists and research stations are based. Several whales, seals and penguins frequent these coastal shores providing incredible opportunities for wildlife photography. Over 80% of the islands are glaciated, and the towering black rocks that punctuate the landscape contrast with the shocking white of the ice and snow.

The island of South Georgia is more than 800 miles away from land, and it feels worlds away from modern life as we know it. This tiny crag of mountainous peaks is famously where Sir Ernest Shackleton’s heroic voyage ended when he died here aged 47 on 5th January 1922.
