Another #lichen that my best guess is Crowned Pixie-Cup (Cladonia carneola) from #SouthGeorgia

Today's #WaterfallWednesday takes us to the famous Shackleton Falls in South Georgia for the #PhotoOfTheDay.
Nothing much to write home about after seeing Iguaçu, perhaps it's more impressive just after the snow has melted, but the story of Shackleton's heroic first crossing of South Georgia to reach Stromness and ultimately rescue his crew on Elephant Island makes them a must see waterfall.

Snowy Sheathbills foraging in kelp. A bird that made an impression in my mind when I first took an ornithology class so I was delighted to see them numerous times during my Southern Ocean adventure. These were on #SouthGeorgia

This time last year, 5th January 2022, in #SouthGeorgia on the 100th anniversary of the death of Sir Ernest #Shackleton in Grytviken. We took a dram to his memory at the cross at Hope Point, erected by the crew of the Quest.

My photo of the juvenile King Penguins with their friend continues to get likes and boosts so maybe it's time for #PhotoOfTheDay to visit Saint Andrews Bay in South Georgia.
It's very hard to explain what it is like to come ashore prior to dawn to watch the King Penguins return to their 120,000 strong colony.
It is very hard to fathom how the parents find their chick within the mass of birds and all the noise they generate.

Thank you for the warm welcome. It's great to find familiar faces and to connect with new people too. I wasn't keen to leave old ground to join a new platform but it's lovely.

@AllenTrad oh, it was so much fun to watch them grow up through the season. And then one day, just assemble on the beach outside the museum and head off to sea. Like the kids leaving home. #SouthGeorgia

A proper #introduction seems the way to get started.
I'm Vicky, from NE Scotland, and I take up unusual opportunities. Recently that's been working for extended periods in #Antarctica and #SouthGeorgia, #sailing the coast of Europe from #Arctic Norway to the Algarve, and a day job roaming the #mountains in the #Cairngorms.
I'm eternally curious, fascinated by all of the things, and far too chaotic to focus on just a few. I'm an #explorer and #storyteller.
On Mount Skottsberg in South Georgia.
