This morning, we enjoyed a welcome break from the rain. Our team got everyone on shore to make the most of the weather. Hiking and kayaking were the name of the game this morning, and we did just that!
We explored four incredible types of ecosystems at Halleck Harbor: the intertidal zone, teeming with anemones and sea stars; the temperate rainforest, rich with lush greenery and signs of woodland creatures; the open ocean’s surface, home to sea jellies and sea otters; and the Alaskan muskeg, known for its carnivorous plants.
During our afternoon sail, we were greeted by some of the most iconic Southeast Alaska megafauna – killer whales and bubble net feeding humpback whales! A truly magnificent day onboard National Geographic Quest.
