In November, as the cool breeze sweeps across this subantarctic island, it becomes a sanctuary for one of its most iconic inhabitants - the Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys). Nestled on this remote island, these magnificent seabirds find solace in their breeding grounds. The sight of an adult albatross gracefully landing in their colony is truly awe-inspiring. With wings spanning up to 8 feet wide, they effortlessly glide through the air with elegance.
