A Peale's dolphin frolicking alongside the ship as we cruise to South Georgia.

A humpback whale during one of our sea days, rolling over showing it’s fluke and giving a wave of it it’s flipper before diving deep. A humpback whale will display it’s fluke when it dives deep. Humpback whales arch their back sharply, giving them a “humped” appearance when they point steeply down for a dive. Humpbacks only dive to around 500 feet maximum although other species have recorded dives of up to 9,000 feet.

One of the many Black-Browed Albatross that would accompany our ship over the next couple of weeks. They watch the ships wake for krill, squid and other food the ship may cause to rise to the surface.
