After departing Hooker Island en route to Wilczek Island, we spotted this Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) swimming in the open sea. It had already passed the ship by the time I got on deck to take this photo, and was rather distant, so this isn't a great shot, but it's the only walrus we saw, so it'll have to do. With a bit of imagination, you can pick up a hint of a tusk at the right and the eye.
