Misty Fjord - middle of Tongass Forest

This is about as accurately as I can pinpoint us on a map. The name Misty Fjord doesn’t appear on the map so have marked the position by comparing against the one the ship displays on the television.
We actually appear to be in the middle of the forest having travelled up this river/fjord some 10 miles. The boat is to show how narrow it is this far up the waterway although still more than 50metres deep, the shoreline picture was taken from where we are stopped, is an example of the coastline we have been seeing for the past 3 days since we entered the forest area at Sitka and how it looked on the jet boat ride to the bears.
The stop here is for our last excursion, a zodiac trip further into the fiord. Unfortunately the worst weather of the trip a continuous drizzle we were quite wet when we arrived back, glad we had the waterproofs and boots on. Where we are is apparently the result of the glaciers retreating at the end of the last ice age, the glaciers are now gone, but there are small streams that drain here with numerous waterfalls cascading down the rock faces.Leia mais
