SAVE THE ALBATROSS Few individuals who visit the Southern Ocean are left unmoved by the beauty and wonderment of seeing albatrosses on the wing. Sadly these gigantic seabirds are in serious trouble with over 100,000 killed every year accidentally by long line fishing. Currently 17 of the 22 species of albatross in the World are now threatened with extinction. BirdLife International has deployed a team of international instructors known as the Albatross Task Force to work alongside fisherman on land and at sea to demonstrate, introduce and implement mitigation measures designed to keep albatrosses off the hook. The results have been encouraging with virtually zero accidental by–catch off the Chilean coast last year. There is now real hope for these iconic seabirds and with your help we can accelerate this work to give all albatrosses a real chance of survival. Whilst Antarctic Travel Specialists is keen to open up your eyes to the beauty of Antarctica, we are equally passionate to ensure their survival, so please help Save the Albatross.

www.antarctictravel.com.au 5 SEASONS
Antarctic wildlife is at its most active during the southern summer (late October to March). Each voyage is unique, offering amazing wildlife encounters and fascinating history no matter what month you decide to travel. The stunning Antarctic landscape is covered with a myriad of ever changing ice conditions, unique flora and abundant fauna. Visitors can enjoy the beauty and solitude of the Antarctic seas, witness the frantic activity of penguin colonies, the gathering of herds of seals, hundreds of albatrosses and many species of whale.
October and November Earlier on in the season showcases a number of highlights. Sea ice is prevalent, especially on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo adult penguins and Antarctic–breeding seabirds come ashore to their breeding sites where they commence courtship rituals and nest building. Shortly thereafter eggs are laid and incubated. Landing sites are at their most pristine. The possibility of seeing sea ice is present early on, before it breaks up later on in the season. South Georgia’s female king penguins lay their eggs in November. An abundance of Fur seals are on the beaches in South Georgia ready to mate. Emperor penguins can be seen at Snow Hill Island in the Weddell Sea.
December and January At the peak of summer, with the increased number of daylight hours, brings exceptional opportunities for photographers and non–photographers alike. Research activity at the scientific bases is also at its peak. Summer arrives first in the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and then spreads south to the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula. Consequently breeding rituals commence and some 30 days later the penguin chicks begin hatching and the rookeries are a hive of activity. An exciting time in the season is when the parents return with food and the hungry chicks are being fed, running after a parent in a feeding frenzy. Whale sightings of baleen and toothed whales escalate in the Peninsula area. Seal pups can be seen on the beaches in South Georgia. In the Ross Sea, the sea ice is beginning to break up starting to allow access to the rarely visited sites of the East Antarctic and the historic huts of Shackleton and Scott.
February and March Sightings of whales are at their peak in the Peninsula. An increasing number of fur seals can be found along the Peninsula and offshore islands; young fur seals are also quite playful in South Georgia. Penguin colonies are very active. The penguin chicks begin to molt, losing their fuzzy down and developing their adult plumage. By now, the parents have abandoned their chicks, and have gone out to sea to feed and fatten up for their own molting stage. Most penguin colonies (Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo) have vacated by early March. Blooming snow algae is prevalent. Receding pack ice allows for easier exploration.
