Today began with a view of the Davidson and Rainbow Glaciers hanging down from the misty peaks of the Chilkat mountain range. A humpback whale swam by slowly in the morning light as we anchored and prepared for the day’s adventures. Some of us went ashore to Chilkat State park for a long hike through the temperate rainforest, while others traveled further down the peninsula to stroll through the wildflowers and kayak along the edge of Moose Meadows. After our morning activities, we went back aboard the National Geographic Sea Bird and headed south through the Lynn Canal. Our scenic afternoon cruise took us past a Steller sea lion haul out, Eldred Rock Lighthouse, and a pod of killer whales. We continued south through the evening to Chatham Strait, scanning for wildlife and watching the sun go down, seeing the last of the light fade on the surrounding mountains.
