A bit of wind wasn’t going to stop us from getting off the ship and onto Saunders Island for some exploration, birds, and incredible photography. Landing on a white sandy beach with a welcome party of penguins, we set off along the cliffs for a beautiful walk. The cliff was lined with nesting albatross, and we soon reached our final destination. Golden lichen-covered rocks surrounded a huge nesting colony of rockhopper penguins and imperial cormorants. So cool!
