Home » MV Ushuaia: Classic South Georgia
Enjoy the ultimate expedition cruise to South Georgia, Antarctic Peninsula & South Shetland Islands aboard the MV Ushuaia. Visit the last pristine region of the world, landing at penguin colonies and research stations and get up close and personal with various different species of whales, seals, penguins and sea birds via our fleet of zodiac craft.
Duration: 20 Days
In the afternoon we will board the Ushuaia. A welcome drink and then an introduction to the crew and expedition staff will follow, and we will have time to get to know our new shipmates. The ship will then set sail towards the Western Falkland Islands (Malvinas), known for their rugged beauty and wealth of seabirds and waterfowl.
The open bridge policy on the Ushuaia allows us to join the officers on the bridge and learn about navigation, watch for marine life, and enjoy the views of the open ocean. These waters are also home to an interesting group of seabirds, which often ride the currents created in the wake of the ship, such as albatrosses and petrels. Join the expedition staff and naturalists on deck whilst we are at sea as we search for seabirds and other local wildlife, such as orcas and dolphins. An interesting selection of lectures will help us to prepare for our first excursions in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas).
On the western coast we might visit the following islands (depending on weather conditions):
West Point Island
West Point Island lies off the most north-westerly point of mainland West Falkland (Malvinas). The attractive settlement sits on the edge of a small harbour on the eastern side of the Island, in the lee of Black Bog Hill and Michael´s Mount. The valley between these two peaks rolls over the centre of the island to the dramatic Devil´s Nose, one of the Island´s main attractions. From here visitors are treated to splendid views of Cliff Mountain, the Island´s highest point at 1,250 ft (381 m), and the highest cliffs in the Falklands. This is where we will encounter a vast colony of Rockhopper Penguins and Black-browed Albatrosses, nesting together in close vicinity.
Carcass Island
Carcass Island lies to the north-west of the Falkland archipelago (Malvinas). A mature tussac plantation covers much of the lower ground below Jason Hill to the east. The availability of abundant cover and the absence of cats, rats and mice throughout the island have made for a spectacularly large population of small birds, which is one of Carcass Island´s most delightful features. Gentoo and Magellanic Penguins do also nest here. Peale´s and Commerson´s dolphins come frequently close to the shoreline to get a glimpse of the visitors as well. At the settlement with its beautiful gardens, we are invited to enjoy tea and cookies with the locals.
Overnight we will sail around the northern islands of the archipelago in easterly direction to reach the capital, Stanley, in the following morning.
In the morning hours we will have time to explore the quaint little town of Stanley and its wonderful Museum, souvenir shops and pubs. The town was established in the early 1840´s. Isolation and the weather conditions made life hard, but progress was gradual and punctuated by the extremely eventful times of involvement in two world wars. For those who are more interested in the outstanding wildlife the Islands have to offer, you do not even have to leave town to enjoy it. Southern Giant Petrels often fly close to the shoreline. The endemic Falkland Steamer Ducks abound on the shorelines while Kelp Gulls can often be seen flying together with Dolphin Gulls. The less obvious but frequent visitors to Stanley area are Black-crowned Night Herons, Red-backed Hawks and Peregrine Falcons. Turkey Vultures are regularly seen on top of any prominent building. Many pairs of Upland Geese frequent the park and it might be nice to take a stroll around the gardens of town to see some of the singing birds as well.
In the early afternoon it is time to set sail, heading for South Georgia.
An extensive lecture program will be offered during the days at sea. Expert naturalists share their knowledge of the wildlife and unique ecosystems we will encounter throughout our voyage. South Georgia is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and inspiring places on earth with more wildlife than virtually anywhere else on the planet.
South Georgia will come into sight! Though extremely isolated, it has amazing scenery ranging from high mountains and mighty glaciers to deep fjords and low-lying grassland.
Our exact itinerary will depend on local land and sea conditions but the following destinations are among those that we would like to explore:
Salisbury Plain
Sometimes called the "Serengeti of the South", Salisbury Plain is a wildlife site without parallel. Several large glaciers provide a dramatic backdrop for the tens of thousands of King Penguins that nest in the tussac grass of this remarkable ecosystem. The wide beach makes for excellent walking as we visit the colony, where we are literally surrounded and delightfully outnumbered by throngs of curious, gentle penguins. Elephant and fur seals also abound, as well as Southern Giant Petrels and the occasional wandering Gentoo Penguin. Prepare for an awe-inspiring experience, as the elephant seals are giving birth on the beaches.
Prion Island
Prion Island is a beautiful tussac-grass covered islet. If we are lucky we will get the opportunity to see a breeding colony of Wandering Albatross on top of it. We will climb to the summit on a wooden boardwalk, which takes us close to their nests and offers comfortable viewing platforms.
Grytviken lies within King Edward Cove, a sheltered harbour tucked between Hope Point and Hobart Rock on the western shore of Cumberland East Bay. The rusting ruins of the Grytviken whaling station are situated on a level plain at the head of the cove, backed by steep hills and mountains. Now the site of the South Georgia Museum, the station remains a focal point of interest for many visitors, as does Sir Ernest Shackleton´s grave in the nearby whaler´s cemetery and his memorial cross on Hope Point.
The scenery in this area is exceptionally beautiful even by South Georgia standards: the glaciers and snow covered peaks of the Allardyce Range - Mt. Sugartop, Mt. Paget, Mt. Roots, Nordenskjöld Peak, Mt. Kling and Mt. Brooker - form a magnificent backdrop to the cove, and the views from King Edward Point in particular, must be among the finest on earth.
Situated 9km east of Cumberland East Bay on the eastern shores of Barff Peninsula, Godthul is a 3km long inlet that lies between Cape George and Long Point. Gentoo Penguins are abundant on the tussac plateau and Light-mantled Sooty Albatrosses echo off the natural cliff amphitheater that encircles the harbour. A floating factory ship serviced by two whale catchers was stationed here each summer between 1908 and 1929. A small shore depot supporting the whaling operations was established close by the stream in the southeast corner of the harbour, and the rusting barrels, wooden shed and boats are fascinating relics of the whaling era, as is the impressive collection of whale and elephant seal bones scattered along the beach.
St Andrews Bay
The surf beaten coastline at St. Andrews Bay runs north-south in a 1.86 mile (3 km) long uninterrupted sweep of fine dark sand, covered in penguins and seals and bounded in the interior by the Cook, Buxton and Heaney Glaciers. The bay hosts the biggest colony of King Penguins on South Georgia. Early in the season, the beach is also carpeted with fur and elephant seals. Such a large assemblage of wildlife attracts an entourage of persistent and voracious scavengers. Sheathbills dart in and around the penguin colony. Cape Petrels nest in a small number on the cliffs north of St. Andrews Bay. Leopard seals patrol the rocks at this end of the beach too, hunting for penguins along the edge of kelp beds. A few White-chinned Petrels and Light-mantled Sooty Albatrosses nest on the tussac slopes. Brown Skuas and Antarctic Terns breed on the outwash plain and scree slopes at the north end of the beach, defending their nest sites with their characteristic noise and vigor.
Cooper Bay
Cooper Bay is found at the southeast extremity of South Georgia. There is a wealth of wildlife at this site, in a spectacular setting. Chinstrap, Gentoo and maybe one or two Macaroni Penguins dot the tussac slopes and there are plenty of fur seals on the beaches. Fascinating volcanic rocks tower over small fjords, giving a stunning invitation for a thrilling zodiac cruise to watch wildlife from the waterfront.
Drygalski Fjord
Drygalski Fjord is also located in the far south east of the island. The glaciers found in this dramatic fjord have retreated significantly in recent decades, but they still remain one of the most striking features of this coastline, particularly the Risting and Jenkins Glaciers. With a little luck, we might see the glaciers calve and witness the birth of a new iceberg from on board the ship.
We spend the next two days crossing the Scotia Sea towards the Antarctic Peninsula offering opportunities to be out on deck, catch up on some reading, check through and edit our photos, or simply reflect on the magical experiences of the last days on South Georgia. Lectures and other activities will be offered throughout these days.
We hope to have a chance to visit the enigmatic Elephant Island. Sir Ernest Shackleton fans will need no introduction to this historic windswept island. In 1916 Shackleton was forced to leave 22 of his men stranded on these shores, while he and five others embarked on an unbelievable last-ditch rescue attempt. What followed is one of the greatest rescue stories of all time. Every passenger will return with a greater knowledge of this gripping tale of adventure in a truly remarkable part of the world.
Our expedition team will prepare you for our experience in the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands.
Later today, we hope to arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula in the area of the scenic Antarctic Sound. Here we will try to land at one of the following landing sites:
Argentine Antarctic Station Esperanza
We will try to sail the passage to the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula, which traverses the Antarctic Sound and runs northwest-to-southeast. Hope Bay and the Argentine Station Esperanza are located on the western side of the Sound.
Brown Bluff
Brown Bluff, a promontory on the Tabarin Peninsula, is located south of Hope Bay. Both of them might be possible landing sites. The Weddell Sea represents the center of the Peninsula´s Adélie Penguin population.
In the area of the Antarctic Sound, depending on ice conditions, we will try to visit one of the following sites:
Deception Island
Deception is the largest of three recent volcanic centers in the South Shetlands. Sailing through the narrow passage into the flooded caldera of Deception Island is truly amazing. Once inside, the rising slope of the black, cinder-covered volcanic rim can be walked uphill to a rather spectacular vantage point.
Half Moon Island
This crescent-shaped island, in the entrance of Moon Bay between Greenwich and Livingston Islands, is home to Chinstrap Penguins in breathtaking surroundings.
We leave Antarctica and head north across the Drake Passage. Join our lecturers and naturalists on deck as we search for seabirds and whales. We will also enjoy some final lectures. Take the chance to relax and reflect on the fascinating adventures we have had over the past days.
We arrive at the port of Ushuaia in the early morning and disembark the MV Ushuaia after breakfast.

Police through its Director of Operations Asuman Mugenyi has ordered all officers to confiscate camouflage attires from civilians across the country.
In a message sent to all police commanders on Friday, Mugenyi ordered for the withdrawal and confiscation of all types of camouflage attires on grounds that people were using the attires to commit crime.
"Most of the owners use the uniforms and similar clothes to perpetrate crime. Quite often, the unsuspecting public believe that the perpetrators are security personnel, especially the military," reads the message in part.
Police is supposed to work with District Security committees to confiscate these attires but also develop procedures and guidelines to halt the sale of camouflage clothes across the country.
According to the police spokesperson Emilian Kayima, the withdrawal and confiscation will not be limited to camouflage uniforms and attires that resemble that of the Uganda Police Force and the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF).
"The target will be camouflage of any type as long as its in the hands of a civilian," Kayima told this publication.
In the past only the camouflage resembling the UPDF uniforms were confiscated mostly by military personnel and members of the UPDF Reserve Force.
Unlike the army which has been confiscating attires resembling it's uniforms, police has not been bothered by attires that look like its uniforms until now.
A number of robberies especially on highways have been reported in the past being staged by people in military attires. While investigations have led to some soldiers involved in the crimes, some of them have been masterminded and staged by civilians dressed in military or police camouflage.

Fee Payment
The fees at Langara Child Development Centre are due on the first day of each month for that month. The fees are $897 per month in the three-to-five programs and $1265 per month in the toddler program. As fees are calculated on an annual basis they must be paid in full regardless of the number of days attended in any given month. Parents are asked to give the day care post-dated cheques for six months.
Guidelines for Fee Increases
Each year, during the annual budgeting process, we will conduct an analysis of parent fees in relation to both the centre's overall expenses and city fee averages in Vancouver full time licensed group child care centres (as published annually in the Westcoast Family Information and Referral Fee Survey). Fee increases will be implemented if costs grow beyond our ability to balance our income and expenses or if our fees fall 5% below city fee averages. We will always try to give at least one semester's notice to parents.
Non-Sufficient Funds Cheques
If a cheque is returned to Langara marked NSF, the Accounting Department will apply a $15 charge.
Day Care Fees and BANNER
BANNER is the name for the college-wide accounting system. As the accounting system for all college services is integrated, if day care fees are not paid, students will not be able to register for their classes at Langara College.
Unpaid Day Care Fees
The day care centre operates on a cost-recoverable basis. We depend on parent fees to balance our budget. When fees are unpaid we are unable to meet our expenses. Therefore, if a parent does not pay the fees, he/she will be asked to make other day care arrangements for their child.
Fee Responsibility of Enrolling Parent
In the case where separated parents are both paying day care fees, the enrolling parent will be responsible to make sure that fees are being paid in a timely manner. All fee payment notices will be given to the enrolling parent.
There are two subsidies that are available to assist families to pay their day care fees. They are:
- The Special Needs Subsidy is geared to families whose children have extra support needs.
- The Special Needs Subsidy is $150 per month and eligibility is assessed by the Ministry for Children and Family Development. The subsidy is also administered by that ministry.
- The B.C. Child Care Subsidy is income-tested and available to all B.C. families who are eligible based on their income.
- The maximum subsidy for three-to-five-year-olds in group day care is $550 per month. The maximum subsidy for toddlers 18 months to three years in group day care is $635 per month. Eligibility for the B.C. Child Care Subsidy is assessed by the Ministry of Human Resources. The B.C. Child Care Subsidy is administered by that ministry.
When families receive a subsidy they are responsible for:
- paying the difference between the day care fees and the subsidy rate;
- keeping track of when their subsidy expires;
- renewing their subsidy when it expires.
Families are responsible for the full day care fees. If subsidy payments are not paid for any reason, families will be required to pay the full amount.

Reporting illegal activity is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, too many workers in California face retaliation at work for reporting misconduct or illegal acts. According to recent statistics, the number of employees who have faced retaliation for reporting misconduct has nearly doubled in the last five years. Although conduct by employers has improved somewhat, there is still cause for concern.
Statistics show more employees are facing retaliation
Subtle forms of racial discrimination at work
With race currently a hot topic in America, more victims of racism are speaking out about their experiences. As a result, more people are being careful of what they do and say to avoid being racist, including in the workplace. While this is an appropriate response that will lead to positive changes, lesser forms of racism will take longer to disappear.
Class action suit filed after alleged wage-and-hour violations
Employment laws were established to protect workers from unfair acts and to ensure that all employees are correctly paid for the work they provide. Without wage-and-hour laws, there would be no legal way to hold California employers responsible for taking advantage of workers. Under these laws, employers are required to pay fair wages, overtime and reimbursement. Employees of a restaurant in another state have filed a lawsuit after the restaurant allegedly violated several wage-and-hour laws.
Pregnancy discrimination is happening more and more
Although great strides have been made for equality, prejudice and social injustice still exist. A common form of discrimination occurring in California workplaces these days is pregnancy pregnancy discrimination. Highlighting an alarming trend, almost 3,200 cases citing pregnancy discrimination were filed last year with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Pregnant workers in the United States are protected by the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
Unethical acts may go unreported due to the fear of retaliation
When an employee witnesses an illegal act in the workplace, he or she should do the right thing and report it. Unfortunately, employees may fear retaliation, and thus illegal or inappropriate actions can go unreported. However, many California workers may be unaware that they are protected by state Whistleblower Protection laws. Whistleblowing employees who face retaliatory acts can file a complaint and may be able to pursue legal action.

IntroductionSalisbury, the county seat of Rowan County, was settled by Scot-Irish and Germans and figured in both the American Revolution and the Civil War. At different times in 1781, Patriot Gen. Nathanael Greene and British Gen. Charles Cornwallis called it their headquarters. During the Civil War, the town had one of the largest prisons established by the Confederacy. Some 5,000 Union soldiers are buried in a national cemetery there. The Rowan Museum has been moved to the 1854 courthouse—a stone building that survived the 1865 burning of Salisbury during the Civil War. The museum tour also includes several homes. An 1819 town house (the Utzman-Chambers House) has period rooms furnished in Hepplewhite and Chippendale furniture, and the Old Stone House, built in 1766, has gun ports on the second floor believed to have been used for fighting Native Americans.

Full Disclosure of PHP Object Injection Vulnerability in WordPress Plugin with 20,000+ Installs
Yesterday as part of our monitoring of WordPress plugins' changelogs for indications that vulnerabilities have been fixed, so that we can add those vulnerabilities to our data set, the plugin Yet Another Stars Rating popped up. The changelog entry for the latest version of that is "FIXED: security fix". Looking at the change made in that version that is accurate as code that prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF) was fixed so that it would work properly. When we started to look at what might be the significance of that we noticed a more serious issue that still exists in the plugin, it is vulnerable to PHP object injection in at least one location (and probably others as well), which is a type of vulnerability that more advanced hackers have been known to exploit widely.
When using the plugin's shortcode yasr_visitor_multiset the function yasr_visitor_multiset_callback() is run:
add_shortcode ('yasr_visitor_multiset', 'yasr_visitor_multiset_callback');
Part way in to that function, which is located in the file /lib/yasr-shortcode-functions.php, the value of the cookie "yasr_multi_visitor_cookie" will be strip of slashes and then unserialized, the latter of which permits PHP object injection to occur:
556 557 558 559
if (isset($_COOKIE[$yasr_cookiename])) { $cookie_data = stripslashes($_COOKIE[$yasr_cookiename]); $cookie_data = unserialize($cookie_data);
Due to the moderators of the WordPress Support Forum's continued inappropriate behavior we are full disclosing vulnerabilities in protest until WordPress gets that situation cleaned up, so we are releasing this post and then only trying to notify the developer through the WordPress Support Forum. You can notify the developer of this issue as well. Hopefully the moderators will finally see the light and clean up their act soon, so these full disclosures will no longer be needed (we hope they end soon).
Proof of Concept
With our plugin for testing for PHP object injection installed and activated, set the value of the cookie "yasr_multi_visitor_cookie" to 'O:20:"php_object_injection":0:{}' and then when visiting a page with the shortcode "yasr_visitor_multiset" the message "PHP object injection has occurred." will be shown.

Good morning … This weekend, buy a drink for the health care reporters and analysts in your life, who have spent far too many hours inventing hypothetical 40-year-old non-smokers in Ohio making $40,000 per year — and infinite other variations — and running them through HealthCare.gov, all in a futile attempt to come up with a simple answer about how much insurance costs.
What Trump's opioids plan will — and won't — accomplish
"We can be the generation that ends the opioid epidemic," President Trump said yesterday. But there's broad agreement among public health experts that the plan Trump released isn't enough to get there.
The bottom line: The steps Trump announced yesterday will help, experts say. At a minimum, they won't hurt. But they're not enough. To tackle this public health crisis, the administration will need a more complete strategy and a lot of money.
What they're saying:
- "What's missing is a comprehensive plan," Georges Benjamin, the executive director of the American Public Health Association, told me in an interview. "We've got to understand what success means."
- And with such a sprawling problem — one that reaches into health care, law enforcement, border control, labor and beyond — it would help to have someone focused on, and accountable for, the opioid response as a whole, Benjamin said.
- "President Trump ran a business based on results. And so far, when it comes to the opioid epidemic, we have seen no results," Shatterproof, a non-profit focused on addiction recovery, said in a statement.
- Democrats and outside experts also emphasized that tackling the opioid epidemic will require more money — a lot of it.
The bright side: Trump's actions might not be enough to tame the opioid crisis, but some of them could make a real difference.
- Benjamin singled out expanded access to telemedicine, which could help people in rural areas gain quicker access to alternative pain treatments and addiction-recovery resources.
- Loosening some regulatory restrictions will also help, according to public health experts, who said states' hands have been tied as they try to redirect some of their own resources toward the problem.
CVS-Aetna merger would create a behemoth
CVS Health's proposed $66 billion buyout of Aetna, scooped by the Wall Street Journal, would create a sprawling health care empire with roughly $240 billion of annual revenue. Only Walmart would be larger, in terms of annual revenue among U.S. companies across all industries.
Yes, but: That's assuming the acquisition actually happens. Axios' Bob Herman runs through some of the biggest outstanding questions that could pose problems for the deal:
- Antitrust: CVS and Aetna don't have a lot of overlapping business, but they do have sizable footprints in Medicare Part D prescription drug plans — combined, they cover about 17% of Part D enrollees.
- Savings: Would the combined CVS-Aetna definitely lead to lower health insurance premiums and better deals for drugs at the pharmacy counter? This is arguably the most central question.
- Other relationships: CVS just signed a deal with Anthem — one of Aetna's major competitors — to help run its new pharmacy manager. The Aetna buyout would complicate that agreement.
- The Trump wild card: Trump made it clear in his latest executive order that his administration will "focus on promoting competition in health care markets and limiting excessive consolidation." The CVS-Aetna deal is a direct challenge to that order.
Hey, remember Trump's executive order?
The latest installment in Axios' Expert Voices takes a closer look at Trump's executive order on health care, which will broaden access to cheaper, less comprehensive insurance plans — and could destabilize the Affordable Care Act's marketplaces in the meantime.
We've assembled five policy experts — James Capretta, Christopher Condeluci, Jeanne Lambrew, John McDonough and Tevi Troy — to pick apart the order and tease out its implications.
Jared Kushner's brother is bullish on the ACA
It's not a big surprise that an insurance executive, whose company sells products on the ACA's exchanges, would sound a note of optimism about the exchanges' future. But it's notable when that executive is Joshua Kushner — the co-founder of Oscar Health Insurance and the brother of President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner.
Joshua Kushner and Oscar CEO Mario Schlosser have an opinion piece in Axios today outlining their view of the ACA's future — and of how the Trump administration has affected it.
The highlights:
- "It will be hard…for the administration to erase the virtues of an individual market where consumers choose their health plan and no one is discriminated against based on health status."
- "Plans will be more affordable for millions of Americans due to the seesaw impact of cuts to cost-sharing reduction subsidies, which will actually increase subsidies for many low-income consumers."
- "On the other hand, the administration's cuts to outreach and sporadic lip service to repealing the ACA do nothing to stanch growing confusion among shoppers."
ACA premiums: What happened
A new report from the Brookings Institution aims to make sense of the complicated history of insurance premiums in the ACA's exchanges, and why they've risen the way they have. The bottom line, per Brookings' Matt Fiedler:
- 2014: Insurers set their rates too low because the exchanges were a totally new market and they simply misjudged who would be signing up.
- 2015-2016: Insurers lost money on the exchanges, mainly because federal stabilization programs began to wind down in 2016. Claims actually rose pretty modestly, Fiedler says, adding that "it is unclear why insurers failed to implement larger premium increases" in those years.
- 2017: Finally, they raised premiums to compensate for three years of losses. By a lot — about 20%, on average. Those increases brought insurers close to breaking even, and in some cases even making money, on their ACA business.
- 2018: "In a stable policy environment, 2018 premium increases…would likely have been in the mid-to-high single digits, on average," Fiedler says. But, of course, the policy environment has not been stable — and that caused premiums to rise much more.
Supporting evidence: The Kaiser Family Foundation is also out with new research today, breaking down how much of insurers' 2018 premium increases, in each state, is attributable to the drama surrounding the ACA's cost-sharing subsidies.
- The findings: Setting aside one particularly low outlier (New York), Trump-induced premium increases mostly range from about 6% to as high as 38%.
What we're watching today: Former HHS secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell gives a speech on health care at American University, of which she is now the president.

Series: Water - Scarcity and Solutions
Tags: world water day, sustainability, water scarcity
We are today asking for thought leading submissions for consideration for CSRwire's Talkback Series in March where we will be exploring water.
What insight, expertise, innovation, challenges, best practice or thought provoking water issues can you share?
The impact of availability of clean water to society cannot be understated. The growing pressure to better manage this increasingly scarce resource is climbing to the top of many sustainability megatrend reports.
