		No landings are made on these cruises, but the glaciers and mountains reflect beautifully in the water and the serene scene is a highlight for many visitors.
		The island has an interesting history - it was a base for several early exploratory missions - and is still a disputed territory between the Argentinians and the British, however nowadays they seem to get along.
		The volcano is still very active and its eruptions have caused evacuations and considerable damage to the stations there (during the 1920-21 whaling season the harbour water boiled and stripped the paint off the ships' hulls).

		The South Sandwich Islands are isolated and are not often visited other than by survey ships on scientific excursions.
		Over half the island is permanently glaciated, wildlife is abundant, approaches by sea usually straightforward and it is steeped in the history of Antarctic exploration and of Antarctic whalers and sealers.
		They even went as far on occasion to "let slip" details of made-up islands in the hope that other crews would waste their time looking for them (and on occasion it worked) instead of working the known sealing grounds.

		Unfortunately the upper slopes of Visokoi were obscured by cloud, however Zavodovski Island, on account of its lower height was visible to the summit.
		Closer inspection of the lower slopes of the southern aspect of this volcanic island showed it to be covered in thousands of tiny fl dots — soon it dawned upon us that what we were looking at was an enormous colony of Chinstrap penguins numbering many tens of thousands.
		By lunch we had cleared the islands and were headed onwards towards King Edward Point (KEP) in calm seas to pick up personnel and take on board drums of waste.

		The South Sandwich Islands, on the other hand, are not nearly as well studied, so this will be interesting and exciting.
		This is the Scotia Arc, however, and it is a region of geological activity (you can practically see it happening when you look at a chart of the area) so it won't be surprising if it turns out to be rough bottom.
		Of course, the shallow waters surrounding these islands are literally the slopes of active volcanoes, and so they are steep and rocky also.
