Thanks to a grant from Explore.org as well as other private donations, the once-popular Round Island "walrus cam" is back online after losing funding nearly a decade ago.
The island is part of the Walrus Islands State Game Sanctuary, located about 65 miles southwest of Dillingham in Bristol Bay.
Thousands of tusked Pacific male walruses haul themselves out to the island while the females are off raising their pups. It's an incredible sight, and Round Island is one of the few places in the world where humans can catch an in-person glimpse of a walrus in the wild, with one of limited permits given out annually by Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
