Zoo / Putting on a Show Janet Kuypers 11/24/17 (in Río Gallegos) “I finally found a nice place to sleep on the ice, close to the Southern Ocean. The warm air comes up from the water, and the sun reflects off the ice quite nicely. A perfect spot. So let me just lay here and enjoy myself, let me close my eyes, bask in the sun. But then I hear a strange noise coming from the water, and now above the water are fish that don’t swim, but make the strangest noises I’ve ever heard. Then I hear clicking noises from their floating fish craft, and I just think, leave me alone. This isn’t a zoo. I’m not putting on a show for you. Just let me warm up in the sun.” (from the perspective of a Weddell Seal at the Antarctic Islands, as a Zodiac boat of humans sails nearby to photograph him)
