South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Mount Paget & Glacier, South Georgia

Mount Paget is the highest peak on South Georgia, rising to about 2,935 meters and dominating the rugged, glaciated landscape of the island. Located in the remote Allardyce Range, it is rarely climbed due to extreme weather, crevasses, and its isolation in the Southern Ocean. The mountain is often shrouded in clouds, adding to its dramatic and almost untouched Antarctic character.

It's often rainy and windy here, so take care on your camera equipment and save it with a rope and microfiber cleaning cloth.

Use a zoom-lens for some detail shots. It´s pretty worth it! You can shoot dramatic mountain shapes and beautiful glaciers.

You only can reach South Georgia by expedition boat from Cape Town, Falkland Islands or Ushuaia Argentinia.

On your way to Grytviken you will cruise into this fjord where you can see Mount Paget depending on the weather conditions.
