A Walrus Herd Relocates to the Nearby Coast

A herd of Pacific Walrus has relocated themselves to the nearby Bristol Bay coast at Cape Grieg, about 60 miles south of Crystal Creek Lodge.  We went for a quick scouting trip yesterday and saw 1500-2000 animals either beached or in the water.  Shown is the herd after a rain squall came through and the water began to steam as the rain hit their bodies.  After 16 years of walrus viewing at several places around the Bristol Bay region, this is the easiest, most accessible and best positioned walrus viewing place we have ever experienced.
