My first day in Alaska I saw a pregnant moose at only a couple yards and a bald eagle swoop down and grab seagull off the sea. I have taken that as a good omen for the summer. Follow my adventures and research as an intern at NOAA’s Kasitsna Bay Laboratory.

SEWARD
The drive up. Freakishly beautiful.
genius tank design to simulate ocean currents and eliminate bumping against the edges of the tank, which can be very harmful to baby creatures, like octopus paralarvae
our strenuous day hike
pretty glacier
Harding Ice Field
Exit Glacier
Wow.
You can identify specific humpbacks by the unique markings on their tails. Researchers like to keep track of which whales return to which areas each year.
Bear Glacier. Actually two glaciers. You can tell by the moraine (stripe of unconsolidated glacial debris) in the middle.
The Sea Otters are my favorite :)
