The final day onboard National Geographic Explorer started underway to Puerto de Cook, our morning destination and final outing of the expedition. All were well rested after a night at anchor in the waters off Staten Island, or Isla de los Estados.
Guests enjoyed hikes to the southern beach. Along the trail there were tracks from the imported deer that roam on the island. Most enjoyable were a pair of king penguins on the landing beach. They were going through their catastrophic molt and had the shaggy feathers to prove it.
This was a fun final full day with some great informative presentations onboard by our naturalist team and visiting scientists.
