It is some people's desire to get up close and personal with some of the largest animals ever to live on this planet. Some people in fact what to have this experience while kayaking. Don't get me wrong,

Well, I might have missed out on an Antarctic season due to the global pandemic, which is really unfortunate but I am still very happy and grateful to be where I am today. However, life in Australia isn't

I am not sure who have seen the video that has been circling Facebook the past little while of a pod of orca chasing a gentoo penguin. Then the penguin dashes towards a zodiac vessel and in a last attempt

It isn't everyday you have the opportunity to experience a piece of ice so large that it has a name and is tracked with satellites. There was a concern from some of the scientific community that this iceberg

humpback whale, travelling to antarctica, close encounters with breaching whales

It has been a few months since I have the time to post anything on Hive, as I have been quietly enjoying my photos of past experiences. To be honest though, I have been simply missing not being down in

I haven't really spent a proper Christmas in years, which is largely due to my work commitments during this period in other parts of the world. I am very much missing not being around the Antarctic peninsula

Elephant seals are definitely one of my favourite species to interact with when I am guiding around the Antarctic region. Their large size, smell and curious nature tends to always mean an interesting

to be honest, it is one of the most common questions people ask me when it comes to whale behaviour, once they find out what I do for work. There are lots of theories and ideas as to why they decide to

Apex predators typically will have other species follow them around looking for scraps or crumbs that these predators will unknowingly discard. However, it is quite easy when you are tiny in comparison

the various views on the Antarctic peninsula are endless and constantly vary from day to day as the lighting and weather constantly do as well. One of the most spectacular views and areas on the peninsula

It isn't the most flattering of angles for this leopard seal but it does remind me of times when you are resting/napping and you hear a noise somewhere. That startling noise is enough to open your eyes

At times there is little to nothing more captivating than watching 2 young elephant seals fight in the shallow coast waters on the South Shetland Islands. These young fellows are in a constant state of

This is an Adelie penguin, the smallest of the brush tail species that you can frequently encounter on the Antarctic peninsula. Typically, these guys will make their way to the breeding grounds around
