Mountainous, ice-clad, alone at the edge of the Scotia Ridge, these are the most picturesque of the subantarctic islands. A short hike past the resting elephant seals will bring you to the grave of explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton in Grytviken. A colony of an estimated 100,000 king penguins awaits your visit at the Bay of Isles.
