Porpoises!


Porpoises!

Dall's porpoises from the side of our ship. They were playing in the wake of the boat and chasing us alongside the ship. They were rather small and incredibly fun and cute. I think Peter got some good video of them. Funny thing was, even though we sat out for hours looking for sea life, this was totally by accident (we came out to look at the huge mountains) and by far the best encounter.

PS Dall also got to name Dall's Sheep, which are equally adorable. How did he corner the market on cute Alaskan animals?
