Southern Ocean
Stewart McPherson explores the UK Overseas Territories. He begins on the island of Tristan da Cunha, then visits the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica.
Stewart McPherson continues his quest to visit all of the UK's Overseas Territories.
His second journey begins on Tristan da Cunha, the most remote inhabited island on earth and home to the entire world population of a spectacular albatross. From here, he travels to the Falkland Islands, coming face to face with a fearsomely intelligent bird of prey, and arrives in Stanley, the capital, in time for celebrations following the referendum in which the islanders decided overwhelmingly to remain part of Britain.
Leaving the Falklands, he follows in the wake of Shackleton and his ill-fated Antarctic expedition, first to South Georgia to witness one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet, then on to the frozen wilderness of the Antarctic peninsula.
