Chenega Seals.



At the base of Chenega Glacier, there are hundreds of seals that sit on the ice just bobbing along, unconcerned with the enormous ice chunks falling around them. John's mom had her Howitzer, as a friend of mine has named her camera, and was able to get some great up-close shots of the seals.



Seals always look so melancholy. This seal seems to be saying, "Don't make me jump in that cold water, please!" I included this picture because it shows how long and vicious his claws are. Puppy dog eyes, lion claws.



The feet on seals crack me up. Always pointed toes. I can see in this picture that he has a bloody injury under his chin. I wonder what got to him?
