“For me seeing the huge, slow moving Elephant seal on land brings a sense of relaxation and calmness. I see them as having a quiet yet powerful approach to the world”. Janine Lavarello, Tristan da Cunha, Marine Protection Officer.

Watching Subantarctic fur seals jump out on the rock (landing place) at Nightingale and being surrounded by groups of them and their distinctive cries – truly something worth experiencing!
