Matt Horspool, Sweet Dreams (ANIMALS 2021)

During an Antarctic project for Aurora Expeditions, I came across this Weddel Seal laying on the volcanic black sands of Deception Island. He had a cheeky smile across his face and looked to be dreaming. So as to not disturb him, I crouched down and using my telephoto lens, managed to capture this image.
