"South Georgia is synonymous with three things: Shackleton, penguins and seasickness," says iReporter Jonathan Pozniak.
That is not far from the truth. South Georgia Island is the home of one of the largest king penguin colonies on earth and the resting place for Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, the Anglo-Irish polar explorer.
It is one of the United Kingdom's overseas territories located in the Antarctic. Pozniak shares his adventure and photos for our iReport assignment -- "Adventure travel."
Pozniak visited South Georgia Island on Christmas Day 2010 after a three-day sail through 30-foot waves from South America. As a fashion and beauty photographer from New York, Pozniak says the first sight of untouched South Georgia through his binoculars was the most unforgettable.
"I think the coolest part was when you're approaching the island, you've sailed for about three days through very choppy water and you're exhausted and seasick and you see these giant mountains in the horizon. And you take your binoculars and you see these little black and white specks."
