South Georgia - Best time to visit

When to go



The best time to visit South Georgia is the austral summer, from December to March, and especially from January to March, when temperatures are higher.
During this period, you will be able to observe various animal species in reproduction, including penguins, seals and elephant seals, as well as birds such as albatrosses, terns and gulls.
The islands can only be reached by sea, usually from Ushuaia, Argentina.
It must be said that the weather in this period is not always clement: the temperature is low, it can rain, the wind often blows, and in inland hills and mountains (but sometimes, even on the coast), it can snow. It will therefore be useful to bring warm clothes, hoping to have the chance to remove the outer layers on warmer days, when the temperature can approach 20 °C (68 °F).

What to pack



In winter (June to August): bring warm clothes, a fleece, a down jacket, a wind jacket, a warm hat, gloves, a scarf, a raincoat, and hiking boots.
In summer (December to March): bring warm clothes, such as a sweater, a raincoat, a down jacket, a hat, and hiking boots; the outwer layer can be removed on warmer days. For inland mountains and Mount Paget, bring warm clothes like in winter.
