Martin Schuster's Reports: Antarctica 2010 
Martin, I caught up on your blog this morning. Loved it. My heart beat rapidly when I read about the encounter with the leopard seal–but no where near as rapidly as yours!
Loved the description of the whales bubble net technique. Amazing. Your account makes me envious. Keep up the good work.
