This smiling creature is the Antarctic Leopard Seal. I love the expression on his face. I wish you could see his large pointed teeth. He is the seal who eats penguins. He gets in the water, pretends he's a rock and lies in wait for the unsuspecting penguins who go in for a swim. My two things that I most wanted to see were this seal and the icebergs. Thanks for taking a look. ENJOY!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

It looks like you got your wish. You have winning shots of both a seal and an iceberg. This seal looks mighty content.
