It is quite the scene to behold when you are in one of the most wild and remote regions on the planet. It less than 100 years ago that we decided to stop whaling these waters. All due to the fact that

so noisy all the time
Don't get me wrong, penguins are cute and adorable animals! However, two things most people are never prepared for when they expire the nesting regions of penguins are - 1) the smell, it is quite distinct

feeding under a massive iceberg
70-80% of an iceberg is under the water, which is something when you look at the size of this piece of ice. It does make for a great location to forage for food when you are a hungry humpback whale. The

summer nights in Canada
Summer is quickly approaching the beautiful place I have called home for almost the last decade. The west coast of Canada - Vancouver Island. It is a stunning place like no other I have encountered in

take a look around
Our lives seem to move at a face pace these days, and it could just be me but it seems that this time accelerates as the years progress. As per usual we tend to forget to stop, breathe, take a look around

I understand why
The endless and cold world of the south. Once believed to not even be real but curiosity got the best of the early explorers to push further south. I believe when Captain Cook actually circumnavigated

a stare off maybe..
Penguins are by all means adorable and I am yet to meet someone who does not enjoy interacting with penguins in their natural habitat. At times too, I swear that these animals will stand near one another

watching bears by the river
There is something very special and peaceful about watching bears (especially Spirit Bears) slowly walk up and down a salmon spawning river foraging for food. Their clumsy and slow nature, as they chase

A fierce little guy.
Antarctic Fur Seals have a tough life and it seems as a result they have formed a tough attitude towards life. Hence this little guy's face, who looks as if he is attempting to intimidate someone else

An Adelie trying to fit in with Gentoo penguins
It isn't all too common when you are exploring the Antarctic region that you see different species of penguins socialising with one another. Especially, here on the same piece of ice, which you can see

sneaky apex predators of the ocean
Orca are insanely amazing animals. As the oceanic apex predator they do not have really any fear of other animals. This was even linked to the fact that when Orca first appeared somewhat 10 million years

South of the Antarctic Circle at Red Rock Ridge
I will always remember this day south of the Antarctic Circle and landing at Red Rock Ridge. It was late in the season and winter was approaching but the weather and ice allowed us to make one last attempt

Grizzly bears are amazingly powerful animals and are by all means impressive to admire in their natural world. A lot of people I have talked to about bears over the years seem to think that these animals

Missing the high seas
