by Earthwatch Institute (3 testimonials)
Departs May-September
This 5,000-square-kilometer embayment, surrounded by majestic cliffs, rolling farmland, and heritage fishing villages, is fed by both warm and cold waters from the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Its productive waters attract an abundance of fish, providing rich feeding grounds for marine mammals and seabirds.
