We saw quite a bit of wildlife, but a lot of it was fleeting or hard to identify unless you were watching carefully, as a lot of it was at quite a distance. We saw a couple of bowhead wales, some narwhal, walrusses, various seals, muskox as well as many of the infamous 'muskrocks' which look very similar at great distance. Also a large variety of birds.

My next most used lens was the 12-40/2.8 Olympus, then the 7-14 Panasonic and last, mostly because of insufficient reach, the 40-150/2.0 Olympus. I took about 7500 shots on this trip. A UV filter was kept over any lenses that were out when we were in the zodiacs, and the equipment was rinsed off in the shower after any noticeable salt water splashing. Everything worked perfectly.
