I am happy to announce that I will be collaborating with Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris on an upcoming expedition to South Georgia/Antarctic Peninsula in 2027. I have traveled with Cheesemans' twice in the past. I have circumnavigated South Georgia and spent loads of time exploring the Falklands Islands and the species that inhabit it.
For most, this will be a trip of a lifetime and it’s important that you go with the right outfitter and Cheeseman’s is it. They offer top notch leaders such as Scott Davis and Huge Rose. Scott is now the co-owner and co-CEO of Cheesemans’ Ecology Safaris. Ted Cheeseman put me in touch with Scott and Krista with his blessing. For those of you that have travelled with Ted and his parents in the past you know how high their standards are. Scott is also an expert wildlife, nature, and travel photographer. He trained as a wildlife and marine biologist and has explored all seven continents for both research and photography. His work has been published in National Geographic, BBC, Animal Planet, NY Times, and more. So let’s talk about Huge Rose. For those of you that don’t know Huge, he has over 20 years of professional guiding experience under his belt. He is extremely knowledgeable and I have had the great pleasure of joining him on two of his South Georgia trips— and he truly is as good as it gets!
SOUTH GEORGIA AND ANTARCTIC PENINSULA OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 14, 2025
Set sail in October 2025 with Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris for an exceptional voyage limited to 100 passengers, venturing to the rugged beauty of South Georgia and the early season wonders of the Antarctic Peninsula. With over twenty-five years of Antarctic experience, we provide a deep dive into some of the planet’s most concentrated wildlife spectacles. October's unique timing means you'll witness the seasonal dynamism as South Georgia bursts into life and the Antarctic ice begins to retreat. Our small group size guarantees intimate wildlife encounters, making every landing and Zodiac cruise a personal experience with nature's most awe-inspiring scenes.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS 23-DAY TRIP
Spend an anticipated twelve full days on South Georgia Island and the Antarctic Peninsula with maximum shore time and Zodiac cruising.
See five penguin species (possibly 6)! Plus, many species of whales, seals, albatross, and seabirds.·Hear the cacophony of king penguins as you walk near colonies of up to 300,000 birds.
See gentoo, macaroni, chinstrap, and Adélie penguins as they start their breeding cycles.
Marvel at dramatic snow-capped mountains descending into valleys and glacier-fed rivers emptying into the ocean.
Watch southern elephant seal bulls defend their territories from competing bulls and females nursing pups during their peak breeding season.
See endangered gray-headed albatross on nests, only possible this time of year.
Hike or snowshoe on South Georgia Island. Take shorter walks in the Antarctic Peninsula.
With only 100 participants, everyone can land and/or Zodiac cruise at once, rather than in separate groups.
Our 15 leaders are polar specialists, photographers, and naturalists who will provide numerous lectures, workshops, and guided excursions. (In 2027, I will be one of those leaders, offering Photoshop, Lightroom, photography tips and more).
