Young Seal
Deception Island. South Shetlands. Off Antarctic Pennisula. Telefon Bay.
There were two very young seals laying on the beach at Telefon Bay. The expedition team had put up flags or other markers indicating we were not to get within perhaps 20 feet of them. They did not seem to mind that we were there.
I believe this is a leopard seal.

I learned something about photographing animals (by comparing my photos of these seals with better ones that others had taken): always try to get the animal's eyes (and try to get them open).
