Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans): Albatrosses are arguably the most impressive of all Antarctic birds. The Wanderer is the most famous and largest of the albatrosses and is found around the southern oceans. Their long narrow wings are strikingly graceful. They have large heads featuring massive hooked bills. Their bodies are mainly white and they have long necks, short legs and short tails. During rough weather, high waves create strong uplifting air currents, enabling them to remain aloft with hardly a wing beat for hours they are the best observed. They spend the better part of their lives on the wing, gliding and circling the wind systems of the Southern Ocean.
