And away we go! Today marked the first day on our incredible journey across the Atlantic Ocean, from Cape to Cape. Having left South America behind us, we spent today cruising towards the Falkland Islands, our first stop. After spending the morning getting to know the expedition staff and preparing our gear for our first remote island visit, we enjoyed learning about seabirds from resident bird nerd Jamie Coleman, the entomological wonders of Patagonia from National Geographic expert Isai Madriz, and expert tips for smartphone photography from photo instructor extraordinaire Eric Guth. With calm seas and blue skies, we were treated to great views of several species of procellariforms throughout the day. We are ready to see more exciting bird species in the days to come.
