Leopard Seal and Adelie Penguins on Iceberg near Paulet Island, Antarctic Peninsula

A Leopard seal rests on an iceberg near Paulet Island in the Antarctic Peninsula. Adelie penguins are close by even though penguins are Leopard seal's primary prey. Leopard seals are awkward on the ice floe, but in the water the penguins would be an easy target for the Leopard seal.
