My Photo of the day was a Leopard seal stalking around an ice berg waiting for its opportunity to hunt some naive gentoo penguin chicks that are unaware of the dangerous that lurk in the shallow waters near their breeding colonies.
This big guy was quite relaxed and curious of our presence, as we sat and watching him swim back and forth along the edge of the berg whilst popping his head up to give myself and my guests a big ole’ look.
