Part 4/8:
One of the standout moments of this expedition was witnessing the herring spawn, a spectacular natural event where millions of herring gather in enormous schools. These vast swarms created stunning visuals as they turned the ocean’s surface white with their spawning activity, attracting seals, sea lions, and walruses looking for a meal. However, fierce winds and soft sands made landing difficult, prompting the explorers to move to a more sheltered island.
