Today, National Geographic Resolution navigated through the Beaufort Sea on its journey towards Nome, Alaska. In the morning Archaeologist Jay Flaming gave a most interesting presentation on the ‘History of Getting Around Alaska’. Prior to lunch, Leslie Qammaniq, Cultural Ambassador, shared ‘Inuit History’, a very touching presentation that gave us all a better understanding of Inuit life and the history of the Inuit homeland.
In the afternoon, several guests joined our Cultural Ambassadors Tanis Peterson and Leslie in beading and the making of decorative necklaces. A number of guests also enjoyed a galley tour that was kindly arranged by the hotel team. Afternoon tea was particularly well received today as it was wonderfully prepared waffles with all the trimmings. Overall, it was a quiet sea day on board and a day to rest a little following a voyage through the Northwest Passage that included many wilderness landings and community visits.
