We awoke to blue skies, warm temperatures, and no wind, and this incredible weather continued for the entire day. We explored the fishing town of Petersburg by land, sea, and air. Various hikes, bikes, boats, and planes were utilized to enjoy this fabulous day as much as possible. Assembling in the lounge for recap, the ship was abuzz from our beautiful day before we descended into the crab feast as we cruised north surrounded by giant snow covered mountains.

On the last full day of our voyage, we woke in Endicott Arm near the Dawes Glacier. We spent the morning enjoying Zodiac tours to the face of Dawes Glacier and watched multiple calving events. We were also able to spot several harbor seals, waterfalls, and a couple harbor porpoises on the way. After lunch we had the opportunity to participate in a polar plunge. Forty people decided to brave the frigid water for a short swim. Those of us not eager to jump into glacier water were able to watch from the bow. After the polar plunge, we warmed up on board as we started transiting towards Juneau. On the way, we stopped at a beautiful waterfall to once again admire the amazing natural beauty of Alaska. During our farewell recap, we were treated to a quick visit by a humpback whale. We ended our day with a slideshow made up of our favorite photos and memories of an amazing week on board National Geographic Quest .
