The Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) is a large seabird that breeds on 12 circumpolar islands in the southern oceans. The largest colony, with over 400,000, is on the Falkland Islands. Despite having a total population of over 1.2 million, ongoing declines in their numbers have led to their categorization as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. They do not breed until they are 10 years old, but beginning in their third and fourth year they return to their breeding grounds to practice their elaborate courtship rituals. They raise only one chick at a time.

From majestic landscapes to the abundant wildlife with hundreds of thousands nesting penguins , the island is a paradise for a naturalist and a real joy for a plain visitor.

The unmanned light station is the southernmost point of Cape Horn and is administered by the Chilean Navy. Ships sailing under non-Chilean flags are ordinarily required to stand off in international waters, but thanks to some canny negotiating by our cruise ship's Chilean ornithologist, we were given permission to make a closer approach, which delighted the many camera buffs among both passengers and crew. Cape Horn is where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet and lies on the north edge of the Drake Passage.
