minke whale checking out my boat in Port Charcot

An amazing encounter with a Minke whale that was curious enough to swim around the zodiac I was operating on the Antarctic Peninsula.  He wouldn't leave the zodiacs alone and constantly surfaced close by in a playful manner.

It was a great start to my morning
