Otter on an iceberg!

Otter on an iceberg!

(Yes, I know it's technically not an iceberg.) There's 7-10,000 otters in Glacier Bay, wholly unaffected by the cold and ice, quite happy to munch on the sea urchins. If you see otters, it means the area is healthy -- otters eat urchins, urchins eat kelp, and kelp provides food and shelter for a litany of sea life.
