Alaska SeaLife Center

We spotted this beautiful man- made waterfall that diverts water from the melting glaciers into Resurrection Bay in Seward.

Seward is noted for it's many murals painted on structures throughout the city.

Next, we visited the Alaska SeaLife Center. There were many tanks with beautiful native fish. They had special tanks where we were encouraged to touch the different sea life such as starfish and anemones. We saw tanks of salmon and explanations of their interesting life cycles.

Majestic polar bear!

This guy, a male sea lion, had a tank all to himself. His whole life is entertaining tourists and keeping the females pregnant. He was huge, over 2000 pounds.

One section was different wild fowl indigenous to Alaska. This puffin posed just for me to take his picture. They are excellent swimmers which is what they did most of the time. It wasn't easy to get one to stand still for a photo.
