Cruising the Ross Sea w/ whales

U.S. Coast Guard Polar Sea with Mt. Erebus volcano in the background. Most on the station including us ! got to ride on the ship out to open water.. and wildlife watch along the way.
Paul (lower row, 3rd from the right) and his fellow linehandlers- help the Polar Sea and other ships moor at our ice pier.
Close up shot at the Orca whales we saw while out on the Polar Sea. We also saw mickee whales, seals, and skua birds. So So great!

Wow! All these pictures (and stories) prove that this adventure is unlike any you could have anywhere else in the world. Your totally positive and enthusiastic narrative just adds to the magic. (Of course, what else would one expect from Ms. Monica?) Continue having a blast!
