Leopard Seal


 

This female leopard seal spent the day on an ice floe right off station. At one point the floe bumped into our pier bumpers, then into the zodiacs in the "parking lot", and then so close to a rock I was sitting on that I could almost touch her. She did not seem to mind that we were watching her most of the day and taking pictures. Beautiful creature.
