Kenai Peninsula in 2010

At low tide in Ninilchik - blue mussels and barnacles.
We hiked a trail to Grewingk glacier at Kachemak Bay State Park.
Then sea kayaked around Yukon Island, and under the arch in Elephant rock. 
We ate lunch under this arch at the launching spot on Yukon Island.  But that was before we left.  It was high tide when we came back.
Katchemak Bay has gull island, a seabird breeding site.  This bird, a gannet, lives no where near gull island at all, but it is an excellent example of some of the adaptations seabirds have for ocean life.
