Endless Horizons

A rare sight: a Sooty Albatross and a Light-mantled Albatross glide side by side over the vast, rolling waves of the Southern “Antarctic” Ocean, showcasing their effortless harmony with the wind. Sooty and Light-mantled Albatrosses, like all species of Albatross, are remarkable for their long-distance flight capabilities, but they have distinct flight behaviors. The Sooty Albatross is known for its deep, dynamic flight patterns, while the Light-mantled Albatross often displays a slow-motion gliding style. Both species are highly adapted to their remote oceanic environment and are capable of traveling thousands of miles in search of food.
