No matter how many times I skim through photos of past expeditions around the Southern Ocean i love these baby elephant seal faces.  I realise now that I can never take enough photos of them, which is a great thing to know for when I find myself in that part of the world once again.  I do know that I will be going back at some point, which I personally hope is at the end of this year.  However, if the past year has proven anything is that you can not rely or depend on international travel until you are on the plane and on your way.

However, these adorable faces are always there in my photos to cheery me up when I start to doubt and think that I will not be able to go on more adventures around the Southern Ocean.  Enjoy Hivers and I hop you are all having a great Saturday.
