Thanks Derby.
Extraordinarily beautiful. But is that a comfortable pose?
He (she?) struck that pose when he became aware of us in the Zodiac - held
it for some time - but yes it does look uncomfortable. It had been resting
its head on the ice before this. We saw others do the same thing when they
were alerted to our presence. Remember they are food for others, one of the
reasons they were where they were, in relatively shallow waters at the dead
end of an arm of water - whales and sea lions weren't seen here.

After we left Juneau we cruised to the Tracy Arm and eventually to the
Sawyer Glacier. This area is off limits to all until late in the summer
due to the birthing of seal pups. We arrived after the prohibition to
several hundred pups and adults basking on ice chunks in the blazing sun.
Caught this pup eying us in the Zodiac.
