Cruise passengers making the most of a foggy day. After a cancelled helicopter tour, we took our packs and hiking shoes and made good use of them. Walking away from the crowds of the cruise ships, we headed for solitude amongst the trees and found our way to to Yakutania Point. It was incredible and majestic and by far the best trail and excursion of our trip. This image is of the love of my life, father of my son, and the lifeblood of our family . . . Ryan.
