1/28/2010 Humpback Whales- Danco Island

Early this morning we saw lots of Humpbacks and four of them swam right in front of the bow. We could hear their exhalations. We saw heads, backs and huge pectoral fins.

On shore we found ourselves amidst a Gentoo colony. On the way back to the ship we saw a Leopard seal sleeping on a ice floe. They are huge and have serpentine looking heads very lizard like in appearance. The water is calm and the icebergs an indescribable shade of almost translucent.

Spotted three Minke whales through my trusty binoculars.
