A Weddell Seal on an iceberg in Crystal Sound, Antarctica
Antarctica is among the most vivid travel memories I have. The immensity of everything there and the total isolation make it a scary, yet alluring place to visit.
One place I visited in Antarctica was Crystal Sound. This sound had some of the most interesting looking ice formations and icebergs on the entire trip, it also had some friendly-looking Weddell Seals hanging about.
These seals live further south than any other seal in the world, being totally at home in the cold, icy waters of Antarctica.
This week has been declared National Wildlife Week in the US, by the National Wildlife Federation.
Since National Wildlife Week in Canada isn’t until next month, it means I get to do two ‘wild week’ posts, with this one focusing only on animals I’ve photographed in the USA.
Taking a quick count, it seems I’ve been to around 30 different American states. As far as wildlife goes I enjoyed Utah, Wyoming and Florida the most. From Yellowstone to the Everglades, here are seven wildlife photos in honour of National Wildlife Week, enjoy!
