After a couple of windy days, we were pleasantly greeted with a calm morning at West Point. We went ashore to visit a cliffside nesting site where brown-browed albatross and rockhopper penguins nest in the same location. Albatross soared overhead, often within just a few feet of us as we watched.
In the afternoon, we explored Eagle Point on Saunders Island by hiking the beautiful grassy landscapes to look at a few freshwater ponds and watch more penguins. It was a great day for hiking and bird watching!
