Albatrosses in Flight, New Zealand
170 images Created 10 Nov 2010
Few things are as majestic as catching sight of an albatross effortlessly gliding in its zig-zag pattern while riding the air currents above the ocean.
The impressive wingspan of the albatross is the largest of any bird, reaching over 3 metres in some species of albatrosses. Such mighty wings allow it to essentially be a living hang-glider.
In this gallery are a selection of flying albatross pics from New Zealand (as well as some portraits and some just sitting out on the ocean), ranging from the Southern Royal to Buller's to Wandering to Gibson's to White-capped to Salvin's Albatrosses.
