1/2/23 – Back from morning zodiac excursion in Fornier Bay 🇦🇶☀️

Yesterday, I sometimes didn’t know where the sky and the ground came together because of the snow and overcast skies.

Today, the sky and the ocean are one! Bluebird day at Fornier Bay. Lots and lots of humpback whales hanging around. We have to stay a good distance from them—unless they approach (like the one did with us yesterday). I caught a few tails!

In addition, we saw a female Leopard Seal hanging out on the ice. Again, we maintained our distance. It is their space, not ours. This type of seal is at the top of the food chain, along with Orcas (Killer Whales).

Note – NONE of these pictures are touched up in any way. Taken on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. This is Antarctica!

No words for this. Nature’s art canvas at work!
