Orcas Rubbing at Fox Island, AK

Hey there everyone, haven't posted in a looooong time. Here is a picture of what I believe is the AK pod rubbing on an islands beach here in Alaska. It was taken during my summer of work on boats in the gulf of Alaska. If you look closely you can see both animals underwater rubbing their sides on the bottom. I am still processing the rest of the images.

I know theres probably lots of things wrong with it, but I just thought it was cool!

Very cool! One day I'll make it to Alaska and see this for myself!

It was definitely one of the coolest things I have seen all summer. It was a wet overcast day and I had to use a high ISO to get a decent shutter speed, but I think they turned out OK.

I was a guest on the same trip and took many shots also. Pandragon was out there before I was (the staff ran into the dining hall and told us that we should get out and look). I have not yet posted on the site and will as soon as I figure it out.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

That was a very cool trip! And I am glad you had a chance to witness the behavior. They really surprised us on the boat while we were eating our dinner!
