Day24 MS Roald amundsen

Last landing of this epic journey. 

Today we get to spend time on New Island , which is a little island on the south west falklands.

It is purely for conservation and research of the wildlife that live in the island.

Once upon a time there were sheep but they were eventually sent away to protect the birds and penguins.

It is actually a beautiful day and quite warm as well.

There are couple of houses where we land and they are mainly for the caretakers of the island.

Like yesterday this is an incredibly special place.

We actually got to get up so close to the rockhopper  penguins. There were hundreds and they were all alongside more of the albatross babies.

The rockhoppers are so cute with their blond eyebrows and fancy hair do. Quite unique.

As we leave at sunset there are so many albatross flying around the boat, they are huge and incredible to watch.

Tomorrow is a sea day as we head back to Punta arenas.

 A good day to get packed up and ready to leave the ship.
