Finally some early summer action with seals!  Yesterday on our way out to the Ice Runway a young seal was in the road, poor thing seemed lost and confused and should have been with it's mother.  We had a big 2 day snow storm, it must have lost it's hole.  By the time I came back from the runway, it was gone so hopefully it got back where it needed to be.  the first video is that young seal and a stupid man who was WAY too close.  You can sort of hear me trying to politely tell him to back the hell off.




The second video is from my coworker Ricky who went Ice Fishing with a scientist yesterday and they had a visit from a seal.  They come up to breathe and can then stay underwater for around 30 minutes to fish!








Pretty cool!
