Endeavour sailed near Cape Rosa before lunch to view the small cove where the exhausted Shackleton party first made landfall at South Georgia after the loss of ENDURANCE. It's very exposed and had heavy swell around it, so we didn't make a landing. After lunch, we landed at Peggotty Camp. The weather was typical for us - windy, a bit wet, (but not as cold).  We didn't mind as this was a great place to get to walk around and explore the solid ground and magnificent scenery after our own not-so-horrendous sea voyage from Elephant Island. This was a great introduction to South Georgia's flora and fauna, and our first King Penguins. The Kings are amazingly elegant - very refined and graceful.

We took a walk up to a small saddle where we had great views of the bay and of the glaciers that Shackleton would have crossed. The wind was absolutely howling up here! There was lots of interesting little live things: mosses and lichens, grasses and algae to see close to the ground. It was a little odd to see green stuff, and to have such nice colors and flowing water.
