Hi Mr.Botella, my name is Jeovany Guillen. I am from Talbert Middle school. I am in Mr. Woods second period science class for six grade. Have you seen any polar bears or penguins. I just wanted to know if you have seen any rare animals on your expedition. I just wanted to ask if you stumble upon any animal, if you can take a picture with it and post it. That is it Good luck on your journey and safe sailing.

Hi Jeobany Guillén, thanks fro writing. There are no polar bears in Antarctica. They are
only polar bears in the northern hemisphere. We have seen lots of animals.
I have seen the following flying birds: Skuas, Petreles and Albatross. I
have seen the following seals: Wedell, Leopard and Crabeater. We saw from a
far distance Minke whales and Orcas, and form a very close distance
HUmpback whales. We have seen tons of Adélie penguins and a few Emperor
penguins. You can see pictures of all of them on the journal.
Thanks for wiritng,
Juan.
