Our first full day aboard National Geographic Sea Lion was spent cruising up Endicott Arm to get to Dawes Glacier. The Zodiacs were dropped to explore the area further and guests were taken to scenic waterfalls. They were visited by harbor seals peri-scoping to view the strange people in orange “fur”.
Naturalist Al spotted a mother mountain goat and her kid on the rocky cliff face. Amazingly enough, a female Steller sea lion managed to make its way to the face of Dawes Glacier, surprising the naturalists. She even catches a fish and tears it to pieces at the surface. The day was filled with epic views and amazing wildlife experiences.
