Traveling in a zodiac can be an intimate experience with wildlife. I was sitting on the bottom of a zodiac in a fjord in Svalbard during frigid temperatures trying to avoid the worst of the wind when, suddenly, I saw movement in the brash ice. I quickly acquired focus just as this seal popped his head out of the water. I think he was as surprised as I was to see my lens trained on him! He took a quick look and disappeared not to be seen again.
