Description
Exploring Prince William Sound on board of the "M/V Klondike Express" I photographed these Harbor Seals resting comfortably on an ice float seemingly not at all concerned about the visitors on board the vessel.
The harbor seal (Phoca vitulina), also known as the common seal, is a true seal found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. The most widely distributed species of pinniped, they are found in coastal waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Baltic and North Seas.
Prince William Sound is a sound of the Gulf of Alaska on the south coast of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is located on the east side of the Kenai Peninsula and part of the Chugach National Forest.
