This guy eventually decided it didn't like the look of our ship and is in the process of sliding off into the water. Sorry, buddy!

During a Zodiac Cruise at Stonington Island we came along these two Weddels, chilling on a nearby ice floe.
Weddell Seal, chilling at Red Rock Ridge, Antarctic mainland.
A Weddell seal enjoys a peaceful rest on the ice. These seals can dive to depths of 600 meters and hold their breath for over 80 minutes, making them one of the best divers in the animal kingdom!
A Weddell seal lounges on the ice, appearing to flash a contented smile. These seals are among the most adapted to extreme cold, able to dive under the ice for extended periods in search of food.
Weddell seals can slow their heart rate to conserve oxygen, allowing them to dive for over an hour at a time.
