Natural Wonders from the Voyage

The birds are really for George but I hope everyone else likes them too.
Super dooper sunset that just kept on going and going!



Emperor penguins jumping into the water in front of the boat!



Leopard Seal with her Pup. A very rare sight indeed as the use the sea ice to raise there young away from any colonies. Very scary looking and antisocial although sometimes social I guess as that is a baby!


Weddell Seal -pronounced Wedd ell Seal is just seal siting on the ice and in the process of loosing fur! These guys were everywhere as we got closer to the continent.


Very hard to catch when surrounded by snow! These are Snow Petrels which are a lot smaller than the GT below



Fantastic Bow wave from the Bridge! This did happen a little too often in the open seas as the boat was chockers.

GT or Giant Petrel taken from the boat. They are amazing to watch as they can ride the wind uplifted from the waves just as eagles ride the thermals.


Another amazing night which I can not really explain!
