One frustrating thing about finding Antarctic Terns in Antarctica is that Arctic Terns can also be found there in the austral summer when most people visit Antarctica. That was a mouthful. The good news is that Arctic Terns at that time of year would always be in non-breeding plumage. So I can be sure that the first couple photos are Antarctic Terns. The last photo could potentially be a non-breeding Arctic, but it's not likely considering the Antarctic ones outnumber Arctics in that area. All photos taken in Antarctica.
