We had a wonderful time in Herschel Island, Canada which is a Yukon territorial park since July 1987 & located in the Beaufort Sea.
It’s a stunning spot combining lovely Arctic flowers, whalers remains, bird life (in particular the island hosts the largest Colony of Black Guillemots in the Western Arctic, nesting in the old Anglican mission house at Simpson Point/Pauline Cove), a small bay with several huts, a friendly summer community of around 10 people, Edward a young Park Ranger which showed us the little village with an astonishing & interesting museum indicating us how whale hunting was occuring at the 19th century…
Thanks again so much Edward for this interesting visit & the passion you are showing towards the history of this Arctic Island…ths!
We meet our friends Hans, Tobias & Cameron from the sailboat Silent Sound (see who they are in my previous breaking news + pictures)…I was really pleased…these guys are great, interesting & passionned by the adventure to attempt the Northwest Passage as we do…
We did a small morning hike with Hans & Tobias…exchanging too past days wildlife souvenirs (muskoxen, polar bears…), how the sea conditions where, and other life experiences…the pick-nick was relaxing with some nice Arctic flowers sceneries…took some good shots
The place is really worth a longer visit provided you love wildlife remote & relaxing action?
One would be able to observe in summer caribou, grizzly, wolves…as they cross from the mainland, muskoxen, eiders, Red-necked Phalaropes…& huge tundra flowers…
Cheeeeeeers to all & enjoy your summer holidays if you are taking any, via satellite, from the Arctic Ocean - patrick
