Hi Mrs. Herrmann, I was looking through your journals, and I am already jealous! The dolphins you took a picture of are really interesting, how many of them are in a typical pod? Are they commonly seen in the Drake passage? Have fun, Anna W.

Hi Anna,I'm glad you are enjoying the journals. The pod of dolphins I saw had about 8 or 10 individuals, which I think is pretty standard. They were dusky sided dolphins and Mrs. Amsler (Maggie) said she often sees them in the Drake Passage. I am still hoping to see the hourglass dolphins; look them up-they are beautiful.
Keep following- the best is yet to come!
