Awesome shots! It would be an honor to be able to go see petrels and skuas! Glad you saw them! Congrats!
What a wonderful series, Ashley! Congrats on SOTD!
I've seen South Polar Skuas/Brown Skuas (very difficult to tell apart as they both coexist at this location), Elephant Seals, Gentoo Penguins, Southern Giant Petrels, Wilson's Storm petrels, Antarctic Terns, and other people have seen the occasional chinstrap penguin. Minke whales and orcas were seen but at a great distance.
Have you been able to see any of the petrels, skuas, or other ocean birds in Antarctica?
I love the second photo, you caught that just in time!
Thank you! It was an awesome experience
