Glacier Bay Animals

At Marble Islands in Glacier Bay, the noise was deafening, not only from these roaring Steller sea lions, but also from the thousands of nesting gulls and puffins who crowded the rocks.

A minus tide in front of Glacier Bay Lodge afforded glimpses of dozens of sea stars, shown here, sea anemones, sea cucumbers and other marine life. Here, too, we discovered hundreds of sea urchins.

Tufted puffins swim close to the Delphinus at Marble Islands, showing off their brilliant finery. [Note: photo is not sharp.]

Oystercatchers noisily try to lure the photographer away from a nest on a beach close to Lamplugh Glacier.

At the head of Dundas Bay, a river otter quickly makes it way to the woods to munch its lunch of fish, probably a flounder. [Note: photo is not sharp.]
