We finally made the journey to the Southeast coast of Alaska in early June. It is an amazing place and made a huge impact on both Bob and me. It is an expansive area of forest, seas and mountains. The biggest epiphany for me was the impact of climate change on the environment. For those doubters, climate change is real. The glaciers are receding at an exceeding high rate. However, dire it sounds, the people we met on the cruise are determined to make a difference through educating the public about the problems we face and possible solutions. It was a humbling experience and one that will stay with me for a lifetime.
It our first trip to Alaska and the first time on a cruise. We were fortunate to find Lindblad Expeditions which has partnered with National Geographic. Click here to view our trip daily reports.
