Talk: San Miguel Island This is in regard to the information provided on San Miguel island off of the California coast. I read the article with interest, having visited the Island sometime in the mid 1960s with a scuba diving group. After landing on the island in the late afternoon, we slept on the beach and walked the island the next day. On the extreme west end of the island was a colony of elephant seals. This is what I anticipated seeing discussed in the article. However, only northern seals were mentioned. We walked among the huge seals and they paid almost no attention to us. I was careful to keep a few feet away from each one because it was obvious that should they roll over on a person, they would have to be rescued. It was a very memorable experience.
