Quark passengers on a zodiac cruise came across a family of seal on an iceberg, enjoying the sunshine.  The water is so clear that you can see the bottom of the iceberg.

Photographers at all skill level will be amazed at how up-close & personal you can get with the wildlife.  Just take a seat and let them come to you. Quark offers Photography Focused Cruises so you can travel with a pro who shares their secretes to taking great photos in this unique environment.
