Using the very latest camera technology, this DVD makes compelling viewing as it sheds a new light on these amazing islands that overflow with the wonders of the natural world.Join thousands of black-browed Albatross as they share with trawlers the riches of the swirling South Atlantic and then glide effortlessly to return to feed their chicks. Tumble ashore with waves of charismatic Rockhopper Penguins and see them bathe and shower on their incredible journey up the steep cliffs.... Often called the 'Penguin Islands', here it is easy to see why. The comical Magellanic Penguins appear amused by the tourists and the magnificent King penguins and endearing Gentoos leave a lasting impression.
