Paul Nicklen has been working for National Geographic as a professional animal photographer, but he never expected this would happen when he jumped in the freezing waters of Antarctica. This incredible face-to-face encounter with a leopard seal, one of the most deadly creatures in Antarctica, was a moment that Paul will never forget.
Leopard seals can be very large (up to 12 ft/4m and more than 1000 lbs/450kg), speedy, and very lethal hunters. When Paul jumped into the water, something amazing happened. Watch the video to see…
