Hummm......early
morning wake up by the wake up master Anja and out of the vessel before 7 AM to
visit Carcass Island. Carcass Island is
located on the northernmost part of the Falkland Archipelago and is one of the
places that is rat free. There are many
birds, extremely tame on this place and particularly worth to mention the Cobbs
Wren an endemic species to the Falklands/Malvinas. Which is not rare here but
rare elsewhere. This area is a great place
for birding here we observed birds like the Blackish Cinclodes, the Magallanic
Oystercatcher, Steamer Ducks, Ruddy-headed Geese, etc. Some went along the
shore line while others went for a hike up the hills but at the end almost
everyone converged at the Carcass settlement for a cup of tea and a fantastic
assortment of cookies. Yammi, Yammi, Yammi.

As
soon as we departed the sky became dark and rain came along. We did the landing
at the right time. Then we started the move northward to Buenos Aires. The rest
of the day we went to some lectures and the other activities offered on board.
