Glacier Bay
Seeing a Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Glacier Bay is an experience many visitors never forget. The true giants of Glacier Bay's waters, these endangered animals are 40-50ft (12-16m) long and weigh 40 tons (36,000kg). With a simple breath, the Humpback Whale expels air at over 300mph (480km) creating a cloudy column of vaporized air that can be seen for miles. For their size, Humpback Whales are remarkably acrobatic and stun visitors with their explosive full-body breaching, pectoral fin slapping, tail-lobbing and lunge-feeding maneuvers. Humpback Whales get their name from their typical diving pattern-arching their back before their final or terminal dive.

This week’s full Moon was also known as the Wolf Moon, because wolves are more likely to be active this time of year, and their howling is often heard in January. 🐺🌕 Also, the moon moved in front of the planet Mars, temporarily hiding it from view. This event is known as a lunar occultation. Mars appeared as a bright red dot near the Moon’s edge before disappearing behind it, then re-emerging on the other side.

Woke up early. There was no worm. Owl-right, owl-right, owl-right. Time to rise and shine! Unlike many other owl species that are strictly nocturnal, burrowing owls are often diurnal, meaning they can be active during the day, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. They may hunt or engage in other activities like preening, scrolling Instagram, or guarding their burrows. P.S. “Resting owl face” is real. And spectacular. The look comes from the shape of an owl’s facial discs, tho...
