Harbor seals, mountain goats, and calving glaciers – our day in Tracy Arm was full of photographic opportunities! With an overcast morning, the vibrant spectrum of glacial blue colors were on display as we swerved through the fjord. We turned our cameras towards the details of the ice, appreciating the complex differences between older and younger ice and the dancing, refracting light. Our day concluded with kayaking in the fjord before farewell cocktails and dinner. A beautiful send-off from Southeast Alaska.

Cascade Creek and Scenery Cove
This morning, National Geographic Sea Lion anchored at Cascade Creek, a stunning destination for hikes in the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska. From the smallest of lichens and mosses to the tallest western hemlock trees and Sitka spruces, our guests learned from our naturalists as they hiked along Cascade Creek. In the afternoon, we explored Scenery Cove on Zodiacs, getting familiar with the rocky coast. In the evening, we spent time looking for marine mammals from the bow of the ship. It was another amazing day in Southeast Alaska.
