    Mary these shots are stunning!
    I cannot believe that you got so close to the seals and the penguins.
    The glimpse of your cabin has piqued my interest, will there be more of the inside?

    Delightful captures Mary - especially like the composition of the view from your cabin and the second snap of birds in flight.
