–Back to the main post about this trip
Here is a selection of photos from the Heritage Expeditions Cruise “In the Wake of Bering”, scheduled for 21 June to 4 July 2013. It’s a unique opportunity to travel one of the least-visited coastlines in the world, and see one of the rarest birds in the world. I am thrilled to be going, and hope you can join me.
