As our time on South Georgia was coming to an end, it was time to ponder what had been such a magical experience.

As well as the enormous numbers of King Penguins, we had also had several lovely encounters with the Gentoo Penguins. A species we would be seeing many more of as we went around parts of Antarctica. We had a lovely moment watching a mating pair of Gentoo at Godthul. Unlike most birds, that just mate in a very quick hop on, hop off kind of thing, the penguins took their time, and during mating, lots of neck pecking went on. A lovely gentle moment for them, and also us just watching them.
