Blee compares nostril size with his new friend Lester
We were at a dive hut part of the day at Cape Evans and a great fat Weddel Seal was using the dive hole thru the ice as his house. The seal (Nick appeared to know him and claimed his name was Lester) breathed so powerfully his exhalation was moving my hair 8 feet above him. He blew snot on me; I chose to believe in welcome.
