Image ID: 25610 Location: Peterman Island, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica | A glacier fractures and cracks, as the leading of a glacier fractures and cracks as it reaches the ocean. The pieces will float away to become icebergs. Image ID: 25654 Location: Neko Harbor, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica | Weddell seal in Antarctica.

| 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.

| The edge of the fast ice along the shore, near Paulet Island. Image ID: 24788 Location: Paulet Island, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica | Iceberg with scalloped erosion. The eroded indentations on this iceberg were melted when this portion of the iceberg was underwater. As it melted, the iceberg grew topheavy, eventually flipping and exposing this interesting surface.
