Yet another reason my wife and I will refrain from visiting Alaska. Guess they also are in need of a regime change. Maybe you’ll be able to shot them from a helicopter. I found the web cam last year at National Geographic (I believe that is where it was) maybe we’ll get to watch.
Saw on the DEFENDERS site today, that the area will remain protected. News almost too good to believe.
