Icy Strait

Jul 10, 2019 - National Geographic Sea Lion

    1 of 7
    In the afternoon National Geographic Sea Lion repositioned to the Inian Islands, one the best locations in all of Southeast Alaska for photographing marine wildlife. Strong tidal currents and productive waters bring a wide variety of marine wildlife to these narrow channels.

    Golden morning light illuminated the fog as National Geographic Sea Lion sailed through Icy Strait morning. Captain Sinclair blew the fog ship’s foghorn as he navigated to our morning anchorage at George Island, but the fog quickly lifted as we set out to explore this small island at the edge of the inside passage.
