Antarctica - March, 2014

Fur seals on Halfmoon Beach. Our expedition leaders carefully schooled us on Antarctic animal etiquette: Stay at least 15 feet away from the animals, do not make noise, stay in restricted areas, do not offer food. If an animal comes to you, it's ok to be closer and even touch. Penguins do this more than seals. Not sure I'd want to be up close to some of these big guys.
