Matthew,
I have not seen an albatross since we interred the sea ice over a week ago and I have never been able to photograph one.  I saw them constantly when we were in the big waves and wind of the Drake Passage but it was very difficult to photograph the moving birds from a tossing ship.  Let me talk to some of the other folks on board and perhaps someone else has a good photo that I can post on my journal.
Take care, and have fun,
Jeff
