Photograph by @paulnicklen // Antarctica is a special place. It seems that very few species are afraid of humans which is remarkable considering that most species were nearly decimated from the early to mid 1900’s. Still, it is forbidden to approach wildlife too closely however, if you are sitting down minding your own business and a 500 pound weaner elephant seal decides to lay on you and blow snot in your face, there is not much you can do but smile. And hopefully close your mouth. #followme on @paulnicklen to see more of my favourite photographs from around the world. #nature #naturelovers #antarctica
