Sgang Gwaii is a special place those of us on this voyage were fortunate enough to witness at length. It is the site of a former Haida village, though only a few ceremonial and house poles remain today. The watchmen tasked to look after the village teach visitors the history and culture of the people that once lived there. We also got the opportunity for a Zodiac tour around the island, leading us through the fog to a sea lion haul-out and to few shy but inquisitive seals as well as many different sea birds.
