Where: Major colonies on Steeple Jason and Grand Jason (included on some cruise itineraries); Saunders island (accessible to land-based tourists and some cruise itineraries) and West Point Island (accessible by boat including from Carcass Island for land-based tourists).
When: Return in September to nest. Juveniles leave the nest in April
Sightings of seven of the nine species of Albatross found in the Southern Ocean have been recorded in the Falkland Islands, although only the Black-Browed Albatross breeds on the Islands. These majestic birds have a wing span of approximately 2.45 metres.
Birds return to their nests each year and lay their single egg in early October. The Falklands are host to more than 65% of the world’s population which often like to cohabit with rockhopper penguins in elevated areas where the updrafts are useful for flying in and out.
