The last day aboard National Geographic Sea Bird began with incredible views of Sumdum Glacier as the ship cruised into Endicott Arm. In the morning, guests were treated to Zodiac cruises and kayaking throughout the area surrounding Fords Terror. This area is named after a crew member aboard the survey ship, Carlile P. Patterson, and his experience surveying the area in 1889.
In the afternoon, guests enjoyed cruising towards the face of Dawes Glacier in Zodiacs, while observing harbor seals, Arctic terns, and of course, the stunning glacier. We always hate saying goodbye to guests who bring such incredible sunshine with them, but we’re excited to create stewards of nature and the environment.
