Circumnavigation of the Bering Sea - 2019: Part 1 - Alaska

In July and August 2019 Lisa and I travelled from Seward Alaska to Nome Alaska aboard the National Geographic/Lindblad Orion. Our journey took us along the Alaskan Aleutian Islands, to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Russia. From there we cleared customs and traveled to the Commodore Islands which are end of the Aleutian chain. We journeyed up the Kamchatka Peninsula then crossed the Bering Strait to Nome Alaska. These pictures are the first half of our journey.
