Antarctica

An adelie penguin checking on her chick twins.

This humpback whale came very close.

An old whaling boat. Notice my ship, the Akademik Sergey Vavilov in the distance to the right.

The water and ice really were that blue. Notice the adelies in the lower right corner.

The krill were plentiful and the humpback whales took big mouthfuls of nutrient-rich seawater.

The humpback whales came close but are gentle around humans.

Most of the seals were quite friendly.

I got a little too close to this leopard seal for comfort.

Radiant ice berg.

Gentoo parents squabbling.
