This beautiful species of the circumpolar pelagic waters around Antarctica almost slipped by without me seeing it. I was mostly hanging out in the back of the boat while Matt was up front. We were taking a divide and conquer strategy. Most of the Albatrosses seemed to be coming up the wake of the boat, checking us out and then veering off to the sides. However, I was checking the guidebook and it said that Light-mantled Albatross always seems to come in from the front of the boat, so I repositioned myself for a bit and this beauty showed up just like the guidebook said.
