Wild Alaska: Aleutians, Pribilofs, St.Lawrence, Katmai, Bering Sea
 Preview
Our Wild Alaska expedition showcases the islands and coastlines of the Bering Sea and their wealth of North Pacific wildlife—seabirds, walrus, Arctic fox, and bears. During our adventure we ceremoniously cross the Arctic Circle and explore the remote Aleutian and Pribilof Islands. Watch for bears along the hidden bays of Katmai National Park; step ashore in Kodiak, the first capital of Russia’s North American colonies; and on St. Lawrence Island be the welcome guests of a Siberian Yupik community. Impressive landscapes—from pristine coves and beaches to expansive tundra and soaring mountains—serve as photogenic backdrops to this remarkable adventure.

We saw more than two dozen brown bears; most were observed digging for clams. We were able to watch as they cracked open the shells and slurped down the soft innards. We saw massive 1,000-pound boars as well as several sows with cubs. One of the Zodiacs watched a mother and cub dog-paddling between an islet and the mainland.
