Sea Lions at South Marble Island

I had almost forgotten that we were suppose to have one more viewing opportunity on the way out of Glacier Bay. We were to pass by the South Marble Islands where Sea Lions congregate in large numbers. We made it around to the port side just in time to see them.



The next island held just as many mammals and a ton of birds, some seemed to be on nests along the rock face.



Here is a cropped version of the above photo for more Sea Lion goodness.



One of the furthest islands was completely full.



Finally, here is a shot showing a large male surrounded by his harem. The Sea Lions were feeding all around the islands and it was a joy to see such a concentration of life on these tiny rocks in the waterway.



On to Ketchikan.
