we're trekking pals haviba and alex and for the last few weeks we have been
calling alaska home working from our little tiny airbnb
during the week and hitting the hiking trails during the
weekends exploring the last frontier challenging ourselves learning and
appreciating the opportunity to escape the heat of the desert
today's adventure is taking us to a gorgeous port city in southern alaska
called seward sword is known for being a hot spot for commercial fishing
as well as the gateway to kenai fjords national park
where glaciers flow from the hardin ice field into coastal viewers
so we're checking a couple of shops and fishing charters in this area this is
the famous spot where you will go on a fishing charter come
back here and you will take a picture with the whatever you caught
caught at seward alaska with probably big fish
hanging on the hooks there there is a cleaning station here to clean all the
fish and then the view from here is really nice
excited let's go
very pretty view of mount marathon
there are a bunch of sea utters just swimming and
enjoying the weather did you see them yeah i got a picture too
it really was interesting he was just kind of like sliding through the water
bloopers
my hair is going so wide on me today with the humidity and this is the best
that i can come up with for right now but we are going to the sea life center
here in the world we were told all the good stuff about it
they do have a bunch of animals rescued they were in trouble
so yeah let's check it out
just like speaking through the
he's just right there
there's the an observation deck outside to check
whale which will be very neat i know that alex really wants to see
some whales on this trip
this is a very good cheat sheet behind me
how long some mammals can hold their breath underwater
so we're looking at polar bears about one to three minutes
humans usually one to two minutes with the
world record of 20 minutes and then orca well 12 minutes sea lions 12
minutes humpback whale 15 to 30. we have the
deepest human dive of seven zero one feet and then the
deep down where it gets really dark and lonely and cold
is where the sperm whale thrive and they can hold their breath
up to 90 minutes
we're gonna check our weight together with the gopro
the area is also famous for a lot of gold mines i'm just going to show you a
little thing here real gold
we're still starving right now and we're gonna go to
a restaurant here called chinooks but uh yeah just time for some crab
what have you got uggs
i brought
and then fries i just need to demonstrate
you've got some halibut
i'm jealous of your plate you can have
some
so
after a memorable day exploring the streets of seward
it's time to check into our place for the night with one of the most epic
views of the ocean
