Wildest of the wild, that seal. It has the whole ocean to call its home.

It must have sensed you were not dangerous to it, or it wouldn't have been resting so serenely. It goes all over the place, doesn't it?

I seriously doubt there are any other DU posters who've been so far South. What a trip that must have been.

Thanks for the photo and post.

(Would be alarming if, like an iceberg, its visible part was only 10% of the entire critter.)
