This morning, we realized we were on a true expedition. Our Expedition and Bridge teams worked together to find an area that National Geographic Venture, or any of our vessels for that matter, had never been. Therefore, every hike we did this morning was exploratory. We found beaches where the intertidal was explored, beds of rivers and streams to trudge through, and sharp inclines perfectly suited for bushwhacking.

In the afternoon, we took all our guests on a 2-hour long Zodiac ride through an unbelievably stunning salmon river. We were surrounded by lush forest, ice capped mountains, and dramatic waterfalls. A truly spectacular day.
