(Despite its name, the crabeater seal does not eat crabs)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crabeate

This is a colour wildlife photo in landscape format of a Crabeater Seal asleep on a piece of drift ice with a steep snow and rock covered mountain in the background. Stonington Island, Antarctica (2024).

In the foreground is a section of drift ice (small iceberg) covered with brilliant white and in places turquoise blue, rough, snow and ice. The ice extends upwards to around the half way up level. In the middle of the ice, there is a gap and in this gap, to the left and below centre: is the head of our crabeater seal. The seal appears to be sleeping and facing the camera, is lying on it's right side with it's head pointed upwards slightly and to the right. The seal is viewed at the same level as the camera and at the distance of a few metres. Only the head, chest and left flipper are in view. The seal's colouring while white, has a slight cream colour or very very, light grey tint to it. So while in this photo the seal contrasts with the surrounding snow and ice, in other conditions, perhaps low lighting, the seal would merge with the Antarctic's generally white environment. The head is slightly canine in appearance, with a short, whisker covered snout. The nose and closed eyelids being slight darker than the rest of the fur. The chest and flipper are the same cream tint of white. Behind the seal on the left side is an area of snow covered rocks sloping from the centre of the left edge of the photo, downwards towards the right. In the background and perhaps one km away is a steep, near cliff faced, mountain. The rough, uneven and rocky surface, covered with a light dusting of snow and with small glaciers clinging to the larger crevices. In the upper left corner is a bright section of low cloud obscuring the sky.

The location is Stonnington Island in Marguerite Bay off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsular about 200km south of the Antarctic circle.

There are Penguins everywhere on the island, everywhere !

          I was surprised by the amount of snow still remaining in the Pyrenees. It's going fast though and leaving behind some incredible snow tunnels

          A huge snow bank leads down to a small hole through the snow through which a stream flows. Green hillsides beyond.
