Nine days in Greenland on our diving expedition onboard MV Plancius, condensed into a few highlight minutes.

We put together a slideshow for the dive team and guests at the end of the voyage, our way of sending everyone home with something to remember it by.
This is a cut down piece of that same edit. Kit prep, zodiac launches, running out to site, then over the side into water framed by an iceberg still hiding most of itself below the surface.

We kitted up in the cold more times than I can count. Watched icebergs that are ninety percent hidden below the surface, chased buoyancy that shifts the second you get close to melting ice. Some days the ocean gave us everything. Some days we just waited it out and went again.

A first time for me in Greenland and what a pleasure to work alongside Tanja and Lu, a great team. Big thanks to them both for facilitating the trip and to everyone for contributing clips for the slideshow.

Spent the morning up the Rock of Gibraltar and got a little too close to the locals 🐒

Barbary Macaques, the only wild primates in Europe, and they have absolutely zero fear of humans.

The baby was born just days ago. One of those moments you don't forget.

A month before we landed on Saunders Island, most of these chicks were still eggs.

At the time, it was rainy and windy, we were landing for the first time on that voyage. We had to keep our eyes out for the guests, make sure everything wa safe while showing them all the species of Penguins. It is easy to focus on the bigger picture. Gentoos, Rock Hoppers, Magellanics and King penguins, constant noise, movement everywhere, adults coming and going. We even had an Albatross colony breeding up on the hillside. You can walk through the island and miss how much is actually changing right in front of you.

Coming back a few weeks later puts it into perspective.

Now some of those KP eggs have hatched, and the youngest chicks are tucked low between the feet of their parents, protected from the wind, cold, and everything moving around them. Small, vulnerable, and completely dependent in the earliest weeks of life.

It is a reminder that in places like this, slowing down usually reveals far more than rushing through the headline moment.

The Queen of Antarctica, can you hear her?

Most people know leopard seals for one thing.

The dramatic clips. The speed. The hunts. The reputation of being one of Antarctica’s most efficient predators.

But spend enough time down here and you realise that wildlife is often far quieter than the headlines suggest.

A lot of life in the polar regions is built around conserving energy. Hunt when the opportunity is right, rest when it is not. In a place where conditions can change quickly and food can be seasonal, wasting effort is costly.

So scenes like this are just as real as the dramatic ones. A leopard seal asleep on the ice, completely relaxed, using the sun, the stillness, and the platform beneath it to recover between dives.

That contrast is what makes Antarctica so interesting. One moment you are looking at an apex predator built for speed and power underwater. The next, it looks almost peaceful.

Wild animals are rarely just one thing.
