A Brown Skua waiting at the edge of a Royal Penguin Colony, watching for any chance of a meal. The Royal Penguins only nest around Australia’s Macquarie Island. This image was made last December: we’ll be returning to Macquarie Island in December 2016.
On the beach at South Georgia’s Gold Harbour, this adult male Southern Elephant Seal seemed to be sleeping in the sun. Actually it was awake, occasionally opening its eyes to check on its surroundings. This image was made during our 2010 Antarctic LuminOdyssey. In the background is the ship we were …
These Gentoo Penguins had set up home in the tussock grass next to some buildings at the Australian research base on Macquarie Island. I found the juxtaposition of the chicks interacting while their parents were away along with the adult on a nearby nest quite cute. We will be returning …
In Whistle Cove on the coast of South Georgia, large groups of King Penguins moved around the beach unconcerned by our presence. Everyone had a different take on getting down for a low camera perspective!

Kenya’s Lake Nakuru supports lots of wildlife around its edges. This Pelican was about to land on a nearby sandbank, and soared majestically over hundreds of other birds. Under the morning sun the colours were very muted. This image was made during our 2011 African LuminOdyssey.
These beauties were lounging around in the 11pm sunshine (which was actually relatively warm). This image was made during our 2011 Arctic LuminOdyssey. We’re returning to Svalbard in late June this year!
