World Oceans Day is June 8–and the Alaska Sealife Center is hosting a celebration. Only 100 tickets wil be sold–so plan now to attend!
a. Exhibits: Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute showcases the best examples of this wild, natural and sustainable food choice. Also, North to the Future Arctic Theater will have an array of films highlighting the north Pacific and the arctic.

While you’re in Seward, don’t miss the chance to sail on one of Major Marine‘s Glacier and Wildlife cruises. My favorite is the National Park Cruise, which goes all the way out to Aialik Glacier. You’ll see the big ice, lots of marine mammals like seals, sea lions and an occasional whale–plus all sorts of other critters: eagles, puffins, Dall’s Porpoise–the works! Check online or call toll-free 800-764-7300. In Anchorage, call 907-274-7300 .
