I watched Werner Herzog’s Encounters at the End of the World last night and was just blown away by these seal calls recorded beneath the Antarctic ice.  Someone posted the bit on Youtube (the calls begin about 40 secs in):

It’s an interesting film, examining among other things, the quirky kinda folks who wind up at the end of the world.

Antarctica is at the top of my list of Places I’d Love To Go But Probably Never Will. Depending on where you begin, where you go, what you do and the duration, travel packages range from $6000 to $40,000.
