My wife and I visted SE Alaska in June for our 30th anniversay (see Landscape Photography forum for more details). About two hours out of Juneau we came across some orcas in Stephens Passage. The captain stopped the ship for about an hour so we could watch and photograph these beauties. It's one of the advantages of a small ship cruise.
