		The islands are covered with birds, too: albatrosses (wanderers, gray heads and fl-brows), penguins (rock-hoppers and macaroni), blue-eyed shags, fl caracols and others I can't identify.
		Also, Diego Ramirez contains the first vegetation we've seen in about two weeks: a soft, tall tussock grass that looks like it would be perfect to lounge in.
		We may never know, however, because that side of the island was blown out, and the parts that were protected from the wind had no sign of swell.

		An archipelago is a chain or cluster of islands.
		In antiquity, the Archipelago (Greek: Αρхιπέλαγος) was the proper name for the Aegean Sea and, later, usage shifted to refer to the Aegean Islands (since the sea is remarkable for its large number of islands).
		It is now used to generally refer to any island group or, sometimes, to a sea containing a large number of scattered islands like the Aegean.

		The diet of grey-headed albatrosses at Diego Ramírez was analysed and compared to that of the sympatric fl-browed albatross.
		Diet composition was inferred from an analysis of prey hard parts present in 103 chick regurgitates obtained during breeding seasons 2000, 2001 and 2002.
		Overlap in diet composition, and inferred feeding areas, between the sympatric albatross species at Diego Ramírez was minimal.
