The Expedition

The ship we took had 114 passengers, 11 expedition members, and 71 hotel service personnel (including captains and technicians). Except for the permanent residents in Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, there was no opportunity to supply food, water, or seek medical services wherever they go. All necessary supplies must be brought. This trip is not to a zoo, a nature reserve, or a national park. There are no tickets, no trash cans, no kiosks, no toilets, and no volunteers to clean and pick up garbage on a regular basis. We are uninvited guests, forced to land, and the animals have no fear, so we couldn't leave any foreign objects or take anything, the only thing left were footprints, making way for the penguins and the seals. In addition to sending postcards and buying some souvenirs from two places under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, we could only buy things in the commissary on the ship. The following photos reflect the various climates and environments our trip was in.
