I read this on the ferry tonight, this gave me a new appreciation for the seagulls. Your descriptions are absolutely magical.

Safe sailing and smooth seas!

Can confirm, having just returned, that the elephant seals are definitely the most ludicrous of all the creatures I saw.

Already have someone in mind who would fit the BeachMaster moniker squarely. As a bit of a bird nerd, this trip is speaking to me.

I didn't think I was a bird nerd either and then I saw these on Campbell Island and just lost my cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_albatross

Hahahaha it is so fun reading this and seeing all those lovely pictures of penguins. They're just adorable creatures! The Beachmaster and its 'harem' definitely made me laugh too, so thank you.

I didn't think I would fall for penguins but the Adelies are so delightful. I'll start putting some videos on my Instagram stories in the coming days. Too cute!

What's with bolting the windows closed on the ship - would the glass break from the cold? They need that fancy spaceship glass 🤔

The Southern Ocean gets so rough that even portholes can leak or smash! It's for safety.
