Vicente Roca Redux

 It was an incredible snorkel and zodiac around the bird/ crab/ fur seal infested cliffs, but our photography skills weren't quite up to the challenge of the very choppy water so there aren't really a lot of better pictures than the ones already posted. 

We did get some good video of sea turtles, fur seals, and lots of birds and are embedding the playlist here:

I did get a ton of the students penguin and fur seal questions answered here as well and was happy to finally find and semi-organize those videos for their use!

Mosquera Revisited

We wish! But seriously, we have finally completed reviewing and editing all the several hundred images from the 3 cameras we took to this enchanted, sea lion carpeted islet.

The sea lions were amazingly curious and playful. They loved chasing people and nipping at their flippers!

Here is the playlist of videos:

and a few pictures from the underwater camera 

and a bonus video shot by our naturalist guide, Roberto:
