Today, the National Geographic Sea Lion sailed us through the Glacier Bay National Park.  This led us to a 360-degree view of mountains.

At South Marble island we observed hundreds of Steller sea lions. One sea lion belted out an “arf, arf” instead of the traditional Northern Sea Lion growl. It was this act that led to researchers to theorize that it was a lost California sea lion.
