Whales!

With the coming of the Oden comes wildlife. The seals bath themselves in the sun along the shores of the channel. And Orcas and Minke Whales come into McMurdo Bay to exploit the virgin feeding grounds . . . Well, the feeding grounds aren't completely virgin: McMurdo Bay has suffered severe Mercury Pollution since the Navy set up camp in 1956.
