A group of tourists had an awesome once in a lifetime experience photographing a pair of seals at a very short distance during a trip in the Antartica.<br /><br />The footage, captured in South Georgia Island, shows two young seals appearing to pose for pictures as they lie on a beach a few inches from the tourists. <br /><br />The filmer writes: ''The pregnant females arrive around October and give birth to pups weighing around 40 kilograms (80lb). <br /><br />''The pups begin suckling immediately on their mother's 'rocket fuel' milk, and are weaned after about 23 days, by which time they weigh around 130 kilograms (290 lb). <br /><br />''They are then called 'weaners' and are abandoned by their mothers, who return to the sea. <br /><br />''The weaners are sociable, often lying in contact with each other.<br /><br />''The weaner pups are very curious, and readily approach people when they land on the beaches of the subantarctic islands.''<br /><br />The clip was filmed in November 2015.
