Sea Life

Seward 2015-08-08 14

Seward, Alaska, on Resurrection Bay, one of the very few year-round ice free ports. We stopped by the Alaska SeaLife Center, where we saw the puffins.  On Sunday, we took a full day boat ride down Resurrection Bay, through the many islands of the local fjords and to the face of Aialik Glacier, more about which soon. These puffins were at the center. Below are river otters, a whale, seals resting on glacier ice and orcas we found out on the water. 

The pod of orcas was engaging in a rare behavior, going right up to a rocky beach and scratching themselves on the stones. The weather was terribly gloomy but the sights were amazing.
