This photo above was taken on my GoPro, hose clamped to an extendable broom handle while on an Expedition to Antarctica in 2012.
We anchored in a beautiful protected bay on the Western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the air temperature was a warm 18 degrees C and the water temp was -1 degrees C.
We noticed some whales in the distance frolicking and moving closer towards us, they were clearly as curious as we were.
We were so pleased to have them spend hours planking meters from our 88m ice-breaker. They had big beautiful white pec fins which suggested they were part of the Central Pacific migration commonly heading towards the islands of Hawaii and French Polynesia.
I wish i could have asked them so many questions...
What is the coolest thing you've ever seen down there?
Do you feel most at home in the warm tropics or down here in the cool Antarctic waters teaming with food?
What is something important that you wish to communicate to us?
Do we scare you? i hope not.
