The famous ‘penguin slide’ on The Snares Islands always delivers a wildlife spectacle! Navigating this near-vertical granite slope is no easy task – just ask this New Zealand Sea Lion, whose rapid descent coined the phrase “penguin bowling” on our February ‘In the Wake of Scott & Shackleton’ voyage to Antarctica. Thanks to our friend Neale Frazer for capturing and sharing this incredible moment! #SnaresIslands #SubantarcticIslands #AdventureTravel #Wildlife #animalfails #penguin Filmed in accordance with the Department of Conservation's Minimum Impact Code for the Subantarctic Islands.

Have you seen my latest full video yet? We met some amazing creatures - Sunflower Sea Stars - that perform a vital job balancing the ocean ecosystem on the Pacific Coast. Sadly, they’ve been almost wiped out by a vicious disease, and as a result, sea urchin populations have spiked (get it?), causing widespread destruction of kelp forests - the precious nurseries of the ocean. The Sunflower Star Laboratory is doing amazing work breeding Sunflower Sea Stars, researching Sea Star Wasting Disease, and working towards reintroduction and restoration. Here is a video of one of their Sunflower Sea Stars doing what it does best - eating a pesky sea urchin! Footage courtesy of SSL / Reuven Bank
