A couple of Weddell’s were sighted on the way home and were both rather photogenic. The first was all alone and of a healthy size and shape while the second was just a pup and was in the company of the biggest elephant seal we had seen for the day. Very, very quite the little Weddell but the monstrous elephant was just imbedded in the seaweeds that had built up along the coast. So much so that from a distance you could only notice the lighter coloured Weddell but up close you could see the enormous beast submerged in the pile of seaweed and just loving it! He really did look like a big rock and it was not until we were nearly at photo range that we saw his eyes just above the seaweed. Fantastic walk and great to see so much life out there after being in the open cut landscape of the base.
We also made it to the top of the lookout which was good to see. If you look hard you can see legoland in there behind Hardimann Bay.
