Have to dig #fieldworkfails back up because I needed to laugh

I love that my job enables me to experience incredible #wildlife. Like this leopard seal in #Antarctica, who checked us out whilst we were deploying seabed cameras.

Later, this same seal punctured another boat and we had to rescue the occupants!
