Another northbound trip, and the last
of this term for me. It was kind of foggy and cloudy for most of the
trip, and for that reason (or maybe others) I didn't take very many
pictures, until later in the trip. I went on a small bushwacking
hike where we explored a beaver dam and then made our way through the
untracked wild until we got to a beach, where we were picked up at.
It was exciting to go through the bush, to truly go off trail, but
very slow. Since the weeks are starting to blur together, and I am
on the shift that makes it hard to stay up during the day, I'm not
able to see the sights quite as much, but I am continually seeing new
things. The Arctic Terns are starting to sit on the ice in the
Glacial Fjord, which they haven't been doing before. I had seen a
few flying around, but none sitting on the ice. Every location that
we go to is slightly different than when last we were here, and it is
neat to see the differences. More salmon (but not yet huge flocks)
more bears, and more whales.
This next turn day (I'm writing this on
friday) will begin my last week and I am feeling really excited about
it. I like the southbound trip a lot, and I want to have some time
off, and go for a little bit of sailing on my own boat.
