National Geographic Sea Lion spent the day headed south through the narrow straits that make up the inside passage of British Columbia. The passage was a green belt of red cedar and towering Sitka spruce. Waterfalls cascaded into the ocean, cutting white steaks into the otherwise impenetrable rain forest. On the ship, the bow was full of eager searchers, looking for the wildlife that lurk in the hidden straits. A humpback whale put on a friendly performance, logging at the surface. At the same time a pod of Dall’s Porpoise came to play on the ships bow! A successful day of wildlife viewing with stunning landscape to accent the photos.
