Crossing the Antarctic Convergence: the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica

King Penguins

The Antarctic Convergence is a region where the cold waters from the Southern Ocean meet the warmer sub-Antarctic seas. This area is a nature lover's paradise with vast numbers of birds and seals that are unafraid of human visitors. Dave Hartley and Jeanine Lovett's presentation is based on several trips to the Falklands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula. Through photographs, they will show life among the albatross colonies (Black-browed and Wandering), the huge King Penguin colonies on South Georgia, and the Adelie, Gentoo, and Chinstrap Penguin colonies on the Antarctic Peninsula. Their images also include the stunning icebergs located close to the South Orkney Islands.
