We saw the Chugach Transients AT1 killer whale pod yesterday! These are mammal hunting orcas, and surprisingly the Dall’s porpoise didn’t seem concerned swimming right next to them. #majormarinetours #seward #alaska #travelAlaska #sewardalaska #kenaifjords #optoutside #exploremore #travel #kenaifjordsnationalpark #kenaifjordsnps #sewardalaska #harbor #wildlife #glaciers #fjords #whales #porpoise #traveltuesday #orcas #killerwhales
