Jurassic Park by mreyfman

I’m looking through 2TB of the images taken during WildPhoto’s South Georgia expedition 2015. It was a great time with friends and many good photos were taken!

On that morning we have landed @ St. Andrews Bay before sunrise and had a beautiful light on the shore. We even had enough time with the good light for some panoramic exercises.

Sunrise at St. Andrews Bay by mreyfman

We are now back after an extremely successful photo expedition to an Antarctic South Georgia Island. Everyone is super happy with the results and even moody Southern Ocean was mostly indulgent to us on this trip.

We have landed @ St. Andrews Bay before sunrise and had a beautiful light on the shore.

South Georgia In One by joshanon

I just returned from an amazing trip to South Georgia Island. I’ll be posting more soon, but I wanted to share this shot, which has all the elements we saw (penguins, fur seal, sunrise light, clouds, rain, wind, mountains, beaches) in one image. See joshanon.com for more of my work.

Rendezvous Zone by mreyfman

Voice is critical survival tool for King Penguins. When the chick is old enough, King Penguins put it in one of the crèches, returning every several days with food. Both parents will leave at the same time. All the chicks in the rookery will stay together until their parents return. When the parents come home they recognize each other by the sound of their voices. Despite the thousands of youngsters crowded together on this plain in South Georgia, parents and chicks are extremely efficient in identifying each other based on individual vocalizations (which are unique to each bird), but this is only successful when the parent is within 8 meters of the chick (the hearing distance of an adult King Penguin). If a chick strays or is displaced further than 8 meters from the “rendezvous zone”, then it will not be fed and will die of starvation.

This picture was taken at Salisbury Plain, on shoreline of South Georgia, a British territory in the Southern Ocean some 1500km South-East from Falklands.
