North Cape Fur Seal Rookery Blind

03/19/07 11:24 AM

Hi. I lived & worked on Bering Island last summer. This image is of the walkway & observation tower of the fur seal rookery on North Point, Bering Island. This feature is extensive & there are remains of other towers scattered around the island which facilitate the ability of scientists to observe the rookery without disturbing it. There are 3 fur seal rookeries on this island. They are great places to observe fur seals, steller's sea lions, sea otters, and arctic foxes all together.

Also, as to the cluster of buildings, the ones to the southwest are part of the only village on the island, Nikolskoye. To the south east, near the very large lake is a salmon catching/ processing plant. This lake is Lake Serannoe. There are several scattered huts throughout the island usually as out-camps from the main village.
