Introducing Paul Copestake, the seasoned birder of Secret Atlas, whose intimate knowledge of South Georgia island wildlife spans over 30 years of exploration.
From the majestic albatross to the resilient pipits, king emperor penguins, pintails and skuas, Paul's expertise ensures every small ship expedition becomes an enriching educational adventure. In this film, Paul dives into his story and explains how this particular trip involved his first visit to a very special mountain with a very special name. He also recalls the changes he has seen in his years of visiting this remote outpost of the world and how he enjoys sharing this place with the people he’s met along the way.
At Secret Atlas, we work with guides like Paul not only for their knowledge but for their generosity in sharing it. Their passion, perspective, and respect for place shape expeditions defined by learning, connection, and quiet wonder—especially in extraordinary locations such as South Georgia Island.
If visiting South Georgia is something you are considering, we would be happy to discuss it with you.
