Despite the stiff breeze, we were able to land on one of the southernmost islands in the Falkland Islands: Barren Island. With dozens of South American sea lion harems and hundreds of southern giant petrel chicks, we had plenty to see and photograph on shore. The afternoon was spent ship-cruising Falkland Sound, watching sei whales and flocks of feeding Magellanic penguins.
