Reposted from natgeopristineseas a bird's eye view of the expedition vessel on route to the Tristan da Cunha archipelago. The RSPB, in partnership with National Geographic Pristine Seas and the Tristan da Cunha Government, is currently undertaking a joint marine research expedition to Tristan da Cunha. This remote UK Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic is home to some incredible and little-known wildlife, from albatrosses to whales, penguins to sharks, and we are visiting in order to help the community design a Tristan-lead and science-based regime for protection for their rich waters. #conservation #SouthAtlantic #TristandaCunha
