Saunders Island (Falkland Islands) greeted us with a moody cape of fog that soon fizzled away. The rest of our morning was full of blue skies, azure-blue seas, and a gentle, mild breeze. We saw four species of penguins and surfing Commerson’s dolphins. We spent the afternoon visiting the world’s largest black-browed albatross colony on the remote island with a challenging landing area: Steeple Jason Island. It was a superb day of birding, hiking, and beachcombing!
