Peeter and Carol Vanker

We had just completed the first portion of our Christian worship service when the announcement was made to proceed to the decks immediately for a special surprise viewing. Eleven harp seals were splayed out on the smooth surface of a flat top iceberg. As someone noted, it was most appropriate that the seals were “harp” seals! As our ship passed by the seals slid into the ocean, popping their heads up to watch us pass. We haven’t been interrupted at worship in such a memorable way before. What a privilege this entire trip has been with its many exciting surprises.
