Just got back from a trip to the Alaska Sea Life Center!! What an awesome place! I wish I had taken more pics!

The AKSLC was set up with funding from the Exxon Valdez oil spill, check em out at www.alaskasealife.org

"The Alaska SeaLife Center is a non-profit marine science facility dedicated to understanding and maintaining the integrity of the marine ecosystem of Alaska through research, rehabilitation and public education."

Here are some pics! This may have been my fav tank...

I spent way more time gawkin' than taking pictures.

Here are some of the better fish pics... I like how the wolf came out from under cover to pose for his picture.
