We saw hundreds of seals - mostly crabeater seals, some Ross seals and even a few leopard seals - but never an elephant seal.  They apparently are found primarily in other parts of Antarctica from where our expedition took us.  And we did finally get to Mt. Erebus - it was a beautiful sunny day with the volcano sending up a plume of steam into a bright blue sky, an incredible welcome to the Antarctic continent after two weeks of water and ice.  Hope you've enjoyed hearing about our journey and if you have other questions just put them into a new post.  thanks - Allan
