Last week we saw some orcas in the harbor! It was a pod of 5 or 6 whales. They did a quick swim by and poked there heads up through the brash ice looking for seals and headed out of the harbor.
The whole station stopped work for 10 minutes to run outside and see them. Orcas are a pretty rare sight here and usually only happen once or twice a season so this was pretty special.
