King Edward Point and Jason Harbor, South Georgia









King Edward Point in Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia











Fur Seal pups in Jason Harbour. All the fur seals here were recently born. Parents were in the ocean feeding. The pups would make noises and run at you, to frighten us, and we just clapped our hands and they backed off. They were certainly very curious.

Fur Seal pup sleeping in the tussock grass (upside down). They eventually break down the grass as they grow larger and heavier.















This gives you an idea how truly small are the fur seal pups. The person sitting down is probably about 5 ft. 7 in. in height.

Fur seal in a very strange position. The flippers and head don't seem to be in synch.
