Prion Island, located in South Georgia, is a crucial breeding ground for wandering albatrosses, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Visits are highly regulated to protect the fragile ecosystem and breeding birds, with access generally limited to the austral summer (November to April) and often requiring permits. Landing is only permitted via small expedition ships, emphasizing responsible tourism. Due to the sensitive environment and restricted access, a guided tour is virtually mandatory and considerably impacts the visit's cost, which includes transportation via ship and permit fees. A typical visit, carefully managed to minimize disturbance, might only last a few hours. Accessibility is very limited and not suitable for individuals with mobility issues due to the remote location and potential for challenging weather conditions. Given the need for expedition travel, the cost can range from several thousand dollars to tens of thousands, depending on the trip's length and amenities.
