Image ID: 25647 Species: Humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae Location: Neko Harbor, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica | Southern humpback whale in Antarctica, lifting its fluke (tail) before diving in Cierva Cove, Antarctica. Image ID: 25518 Species: Humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae Location: Cierva Cove, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica | Brash ice and pack ice in Antarctica. Brash ices fills the ocean waters of Cierva Cove on the Antarctic Peninsula. The ice is a mix of sea ice that has floated near shore on the tide and chunks of ice that have fallen into the water from nearby land-bound glaciers.

| A crabeater seal, hauled out on pack ice to rest. Crabeater seals reach 2m and 200kg in size, with females being slightly larger than males. Crabeaters are the most abundant species of seal in the world, with as many as 75 million individuals. Despite its name, 80% the crabeater seal's diet consists of Antarctic krill. They have specially adapted teeth to strain the small krill from the water.
