Today, we explored Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness. We did two rounds of Zodiac rides amongst the ice at South Sawyer Glacier, a tidewater glacier. We saw harbor seals, mountain goats, a variety of birds, and glacial waterfalls. We had a visit from some Vikings who passed out hot chocolate! After lunch, we stopped by a waterfall named Hole-In-The-Wall before arriving at Williams Cove for our afternoon activities. We enjoyed two rounds of hikes, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

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.
