Hourglass Dolphins. This picture was taken a year ago, Feb 16th 2020, in the South Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, on route from the Falklands to South Georgia and close to the Antarctic Convergence. One pelagic species of dolphin can be seen so far south, close to the convergence, the Hourglass Dolphin. It is small, really fast, and on the few occasions they come alongside a ship, encounters tend to very brief, as if they check out the ship then lose interest and move on. This means they are difficult to spot, let alone get a picture, and the few that tend to get a fleeting view, are the smokers on the stern deck! Finally, after so many times of missing out on a sighting, or a brief glimpse with no chance of a photo, on this occasion I was lucky since I had my camera with me and I got this picture! #kevthenatureguide #hourglassdolphin #southernocean #southatlantic #falklands #southgeorgiaisland #gadventures #g_expedition #ptga #polartourismguides #polartourismguidesassociation #antarcticambassadors https://www.instagram.com/p/CLWR8TEDj6P/?igshid=h8k7fmxg95y0
