Creator's Key Takeaways
people come to Antarctica for the wildlife but today on board the National Geographic Explorer we found something spectacular
a pot of killer whales spyhopping in the distance narrowing in on their target a crabeater seal upon the ice
the intelligent part of I guess it was four whales were systematically knocking him off the ice and he was fast as as heck and was scooting back onto the ice every time
Kevin got away so it was good news for all of us and a great time envoy this is truly one of the most amazing encounters any of us have witnessed in the wild
