| 2/5/2015 to 2/27/2015 We flew to the "End of the World" Ushuaia, Terra del Fuego, Argentina with the intent on catching our One Ocean ship, the Akademik Sergey Vavilov, to Antarctica via the Falklands and South Georgia. Our Tropical Birding guide, Andrew Spencer, was very knowledgeable and we were pleased to have him help us identify all we saw.

| 2/18/2015 We reach Antarctica at last! Brown Bluffs, Elephant Island, Antarctica: The star of the show here was the Adelie Penguin with an established colony. Young were still begging but were being told to get a job. Troops of new job seekers in molt waddled by. |
