Southern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialoides) - 20Feb2022

The Southern Fulmar shared the Fulmarus genus with its Northern cousin but inhabits the southern oceans instead.  They also can have many different color morphs.  We had several of them during the Drake crossing on the way to Antarctica.

To me they look like avian dolphins and they playfully fly above the waves like dolphins can below the waves.
