Overnight we traveled through Chatham Strait, and this morning we arrived at Shaw Island to explore Fox Creek. A few naturalists went ashore first to scout the bear trails for safety; we were then ready to welcome our guests on the island. We divided into three large groups to explore this majestic old-growth forest. Along the way our naturalists explained the intricate relationships of this diverse environment, a “web of life” as one called it. In the afternoon, we cruised near the Inian Islands looking for marine mammals. It didn’t take long before we saw humpback whales demonstrating feeding behavior. It was another wonderful day in Southeast Alaska aboard National Geographic Sea Lion.
