Andrea's pictures really captured the day, it was amazing, Doug took me back to the ship kicking and screamig. The seals all have these adorably different faces...Btpeth found one that looked like a ferret,; some have snake faces,spaniel faces, cat faces, cow faces. These guys are constantly playing. They run up to you and sniff you. The adults run up and bark at you but you clap and say ' no bad seal" and they back off. They are a hoot. They hide in the tussah grass and bound out at you. Now the king penguins, when swimming look just like ducks. While really oretty, the poor tenses, when losing their baby fur, look really sorry...like a bad case of puberty.

The first stop was a surprise as the beach was rather Spassky populace. The, over the crest and 250,000 king penguins line the cost shoulder to shoulder. It is almost too much to take in. We'll it's almost midnight and I've been up since 4:30. More later.
