The National Geographic Orion took us to South Glubokaya Bay and the landing did not look very promising. The Fjord was completely fogged over and we were walking through swampy wet grass and flowers. Just when we thought to return because there really was not much to see and everybody shot enough macros for a year the sun broke through and within minutes we had the most beautiful landscape around us. What a nice surprise and happy shooting started again. Photo: Ulrich Jobs

Cruising on the National Geoagraphic Orion  landing on Karaginskiy Island in Russia far east gave us the the opportunity to admire large wildflower meadows. The beautiful Iris is quite common here and mostly pretty enough to take a shot. Photo: Ulrich Jobs

Our cruise on the National Geographic Orion included  visits to the Koryak people in Russia far east. Particulary the extremely warm welcome we experienced when arriving at the Tymlat village impressed. Obviously sharing their culture was not only fun for us.

This cute Arctic Fox on the beach in the Commander Islands, Russia did not bother to take notice of us. A beautiful animal easy to photograph. Photo: Ulrich Jobs

The Stellar sea eagle is not only impressive flying. Sitting you can see why it is the heaviest of all eagles. Photo: Ulrich Jobs

Nearly forgot to present this little cutie roaming the shores at Geographic Harbor which is a part of Katmai National Park, the site of the largest volcanic eruption of the 20^th century.

Cruising in Zodicas on the Zupanova River we got some  great views of the legendary Stellar sea eagle, the biggest or better heaviest eagle of our planet.  Photo: Ulrich Jobs
