Kenny and Kris on the whale/glacier tour boat. This day was our 24-1/2 anniversary! :) What a memorable day we had seeing orcas, porpoises, a humpback whale, Stellar sea lions, a mountain goat and puffins!
Resurrection Bay is home to many Sea Otters. When the Exxon Valdez tanker accident occured, many otters and other animals died.
We enjoyed watching three pods of orcas (killer whales)in Resurrection Bay on a 10-hour nature cruise out of Seward. There are two females and a calf in this picture. Adult female orcas have a shorter dorsal fin than the males. The captain of our boat put a hydrophone in the water so we could eavesdrop on the whale communication. It was incredible to hear the squeals and whistles of the Orca chatter! We saw these whales on our 24-1/2 year wedding anniversary!
