Alaska

Expedition in Prince William Sound

For the last two weeks, I have been away in Alaska, along with Nick, Sandra and Yvonne.

Together we spent seven days on expedition in the Prince William Sound area.

The whole region is renowned for its Tide water Glaciers and wildlife and we were not to be dissapointed in our time there.

Although we had a mixed bag of weather, this only served to heighten the experience.
Below are a few images from the expedition which we shall be running again next year.

An overcast sky, followed by heavy rain did nothing to hide Alaska's beauty

After several days of inclement weather the sun came through and revealed Alaska's beauty.

Blackstone Bay forms a perfect backdrop to the third days camp site.

Bald Eagles were a common site along with many other species wildlife.

All in all I have got to say that the expedition was a very memorable experience and marks the start of what I hope becomes a lasting relationship with a very special part of our planet.

Many thanks to Tom Pogson of Alaska Kayak School for the use of his Explorers.
