An Irish Expedition by sail and sea kayak from Falklands to South Georgia in 2019 – a talk and slideshow by Sean Pierce of Shearwater Sea Kayaking
“For many reasons this expedition might not have happened, but it did; and looking back from the strictures of Covid lockdown, we can reflect on how fortunate we were that it did happen, the privilege of our time in the Southern Ocean, and our experience of the unmatched natural environment that is South Georgia.
Despite many twists and turns on the way, we succeeded, and spent 11 glorious summer days in the wilderness that is South Georgia. The experience of close encounter with the massed bird- and sea-life that abounds there is unforgettable. It exposes the fragility of the global environment, the naivete and innocence of wild-life, and the dependence of all life on active human stewardship of our planet.”
