Item information:

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.)
Resting seal, floating ice
That's a content seal face!
A rather steady progression of seals in and out of the lagoon
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.
An iceland gull (Larus glaucoides) coming in for a landing.
Harlequin Ducks (Histronicus histronicus). I just love that latin name!

Asleep at the wheel. They must find the lagoon pretty safe.
What are you looking at?
A sunning seal's smile.
Two seals...
Three seals...

Is it safe for a nap?
Ahhhh...
Better check around.
Still ok, time to relax.

Maybe a couple?
Big seal smile!
This pair stayed pretty close together.

Very noisy ducks this time of the year.
I think that is a no.
Stealth duck attack.
More hooting and waving of wings.
This is a yes.
Seals heading out to sea under the Ring Road bridge.
This is apparently what I look like when I'm photographing seals and ducks.
