Elephant seals and giant petrels (2xPiP)
Antarctic wildlife at Walker Bay/ Hannah Point on Livingston Island.
Juvenile male elephant seals resting on the black lava sands of Walker Bay with Giant Petrels nesting nearby.
At Hannah Point and neighbouring Walker Bay there are also breeding colonies of Adelie, chinstrap and Gentoo penguins and even one or two pairs of Macaroni penguins, all close together.
Only ships carrying no more than 100 passengers are allowed there and they have to split up into groups of ten with a guide so that the animals aren't disturbed.
