Photo: Sea Animal Steller Sea Lions Resting Broughton Archipelago

A commonly seen sea animal off the coast of Northern Vancouver Island, a harem of Steller sea lions are seen here resting on a rock in the Broughton Archipelago, British Columbia, Canada.

The beautiful Broughton Archipelago is a haven for many sea animals including the near threatened Steller sea lion.

Steller sea lions spend months breeding and resting on the rookeries off the coast of Northern Vancouver Island and in the archipelago during the summer months.
