2016Apr Iceland Day 12: Jökulsárlón Seals and Ducks
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay12JkulsrlnSealsAndDucks/photo/#12765706
There are seals in the lagoon! Warming up in the glacial melt.
Pretty heavily cropped, even at 500mm (300mm f/2.8 VR + TC17II. D800e has plenty of pixels to allow for cropping, and the lens/teleconverter combo has enough image quality to allow this.

They were curious about the tourists and often came relatively close to take a look at us.

Once in a while I could get a glimpse of a seal's back.

Heading out to sea past the mounds of ice stuck along the shore.

They must consider this water warm, or maybe they find it a safe place to relax. No killer whales.

I think that is a no.
