Seals of the Southern Ocean

A nice fat Weddell seal in Mikkelson Harbour, Antarctica (I didn't actually see a skinny one!)



A grumpy-looking Leopard seal, also in Mikkelson Harbour



Elephant seals have a discussion about who can lie where on the beach at Gold Harbour, South Georgia.



Fur Seals where just about everywhere......

Saulsbury Plain, South Georgia



(Strongly considered bringing one of the pups home for the dogs to play with. Bath time would have been much more fun.)



At the Argentine research station on South Orkney Islands....



....where they did not always show the proper respect...



At Trinty Island, Antarctica



Another Weddell seal, also in Trinity Island



Thanks for looking!

Re: Seals of the Southern Ocean

Many thanks, everyone!
Phil - is that the one where the penguin jumps into the Zodiac to avoid being caught and then wouldn't get back in the water? ? I did see that one - classic!
