Very interesting

Check this out...not related to SANAE or me (I haven't seen any leopard seals) but quite amazing.

National Geographic photographer's encounter with leopard seal

Well we eventually got the opportunity to go on a field trip.  The authorities back home as well as the weather needed to give permission for this expedition.  Seeing that we needed to prepare for any eventuality this, 3-day-50km-from-home camping trip needed quite a lot of preparation.    It therefore helped to rid us of some of the winter rust but was a welcome 'change' of scenery.  Antarctica has two very different characters and we had 3 days of her at her prettiest.  At the moment she is a raging beast yet again.
