Photograph by @paulnicklen // A huge male elephant seal arrives at South Georgia, Antarctica after a long migration. He is here for the breeding season and announces his arrival with a loud, roaring bellow to all of the females and other males resting on beach. It is an exciting time of year in the Southern Seas and truly one of my favorite places on this great planet. #followme on @paulnicklen to see what this beach looks like when it is wall to wall elephant seals and king penguins. Truly the land of kings and elephants. #nature #naturelovers #antarctica #seal #picoftheday #tbt #beauty #ice A photo posted by National Geographic (@natgeo) on Jul 14, 2016 at 10:11pm PDT
