Further to my post Steller, this is a large male Steller Sea Lion observed while touring on the Passing Cloud.

This guy looks like he is in charge, but as he is quite isolated from females, it may be that he has been recently deposed by another male.

Seen at the Garcin Rocks rookery/haulout east of Benjamin Point near the south end of Moresby Island.
