Go ashore on Heather Island, view the glacier and walk along side the stranded icebergs. One will have to be careful not to disturb the multitudes of nesting shore birds that are underfoot. Listen to centuries-old icebergs crackle!
Explore Ellamar, a turn of the century mining town. Many old structures are still standing from the copper mining days. This area is rich in copper ore and is steeped in history because of this. By boat and on foot we can explore and photograph the weathered structures that are still standing along with other mines and sites near Ellamar.
