Recently returned from 6-months in the South Atlantic, Andrew Gransden has built up an extensive collection of high-quality digital images of the unique wildlife of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. With no concept of what a human is, the wildlife on these islands is content for you to approach with care to within a few metres, although it is not advisable to get too close to some of the larger Elephant Seals and Sea Lions. This presents unbelievable opportunities to the photographer. The portfolio includes a wide range of close-up images of all 4 types of penguin (King, Gentoo, Rockhopper and Magellanic), seals (Southern Elephant, Fur and Sea Lion), Albatross, birds of prey and many others. They capture the breeding and young of the bird colonies the islands of Saunders and Sea Lion. Photographs of the icebergs from the Antarctic Larsen Ice Shelf around South Georgia show the visible results of global climate change. Samples of the available images can be seen on the Photographers Direct website and at www.awginfosys.net/awgphoto.
