Beluga Don't Surf
























Monday August 25, 2008 10:30 am
Kodiak is an island. To get to Kodiak one must either board a plane or a boat. To get our vehicle and belongings to Kodiak Meghan and I took the ferry from Homer to Kodiak. Before boarding the ferry Meghan and I drove down the Kenai Penninsula from Anchorage to Homer. Soon after leaving Anchorage we found a pod of beluga whales near Beluga Point.These belugas are a population unique to the Turnagain Arm near Anchorage. In the images you will see a mother (white) and her calf (grey) surfacing together. We had visited Beluga Point two days earlier with our friends Ian and Sam to watch a tidal bore.
