Dear Adventurer
South Georgia is our favorite place on Earth, a wilderness that mesmerizes everyone who visits with its scenic magnificence and
abundance of wildlife. What’s more, this effect does not diminish even after repeated exposures. Combined, we’ve traveled to
its shores more than 140 times, yet each new exploration stirs in us the same enthusiasm and wonder that the first did. Thus, we
could think of no better place to celebrate Zegrahm’s 20th anniversary!

What is this irresistible and enduring lure of South Georgia? Why is it that once is never enough? First, there are the vistas,
pristine, varied, and awe-inspiring: bays and fjords bordered by snowcapped mountains, grassy hillsides, and cascading glaciers;
striated rock formations; snow-covered plateaus; cliffs draped in huge icicles, some of them over 15 feet in length. Icebergs, calved
by the Antarctic ice shelves far to the south, form a labyrinth of fantastically shaped sculptures.

Next, we have the wildlife. We’ll witness colonies of thousands upon thousands of majestic king penguins. Macaroni and
gentoos are also prevalent, along with snowy sheathbills, petrels, prions, and the ever-present opportunistic skuas. Four species
of albatross have chosen South Georgia as their breeding place, and we will spy the most regal of them all, the wandering
albatross, largest of all flying birds. More than one and a half million fur seals cram the beaches, while nearby their blubbery
cousins the elephant seals snort and bellow. Reindeer graze on the hillsides, and whales—humpbacks, orcas, minkes—populate
the waters we sail.

Finally, there’s the romance and adventure associated with Sir Ernest Shackleton, to whom we pay homage at his Grytviken
gravesite. As we walk in the footsteps of Shackleton and his men, their drive and heroism in the face of life-threatening privation
resonates across the years.

We invite you to join us aboard the Clipper Adventurer and celebrate as we look back at 20 years of adventures and unforgettable
experiences, and toast to future expeditions.

Warmest regards,

Mike Messick, Jack Grove, Peter Harrison & Shirley Metz

Thursday – Thursday, November 4 – 11
South Georgia
Flexibility on this expedition is a must.
The expeditionary nature of this voyage pre-
vents us publishing a day-by day itinerary, but
the following is a list of places we plan to visit.
Some of them are pending final government
approval.
Elsehul Bay – This beautiful bay is home
to thousands of fur seals. Listen for the high-
pitched trumpeting of king penguins amid
the magnificent sounds of marine mammals
echoing throughout this bay.
Right Whale Bay – We land on a volcanic
black-sand beach in search of southern fur
seals, elephant seals, king penguins, and the
other bird species known to inhabit the area.
Salisbury Plain – Thousands upon thousands
of king penguins greet us, in several states of
plumage. Two glaciers and rugged snowcapped
ridges form a spectacular background for the
huge king penguin rookery.
Hercules Bay – At this rocky bay we have
the opportunity to view macaroni penguins,
the most numerous of all penguin species.
Stromness Bay – Site of Shackleton’s arrival
after crossing the island’s glaciers on foot.
Stromness offers views of cliffs and a glacier,
which the adventurer and his companions
descended.
Grytviken – We explore Grytviken on foot,
discovering the ruins of this once-active whaling
station. The cemetery holds a special fascination,
as it is here that Shackleton is buried. Hiking
along the beach we can see penguins and other
seabirds, as well as marine mammals.
Royal Bay – The 1882 German transit of
Venus expedition conducted its research at
this large bay, and remains of the party’s
buildings still stand on shore. Ross Glacier
SHACKLETON’S GRAVESITE
forms a dramatic backdrop to the wild
scenery, where 50,000 king penguins await.
Gold Harbour – Gold Harbour, at the foot of
the Bertrab Glacier, is home to a colony of tens
of thousands of king penguins. We are likely to
see elephant seals, fur seals, and light-mantled
sooty albatross.
Cooper Bay – This bay features spectacular
rock headlands with sharp cleavages of meta-
morphosed sandstone, presenting intriguing
geological perspectives. Here we are likely
to encounter light-mantled sooty albatross;
king, gentoo, and macaroni penguins; prions,
petrels, and terns; in addition to fur, Weddell,
and elephant seals.
Friday & Saturday, November 12 & 13
Cruising the South Scotia Sea

celebrate 20 years of discovery and all we
have experienced on this anniversary voyage.
