From seabird colonies on remote St. Lazaria Island to the underwater plankton at night… from elusive brown bears deep in the forest to humpback whales hunting with rare coordination — it’s the one Sitka experience you’ll still be thinking about long after you leave. ## Cinematic quality, crafted by an award-winning filmmaker Directed by Emmy Award–winning wildlife filmmaker Ben Hamilton — whose work has appeared on BBC, National Geographic, Discovery, and Smithsonian — this film brings together over 16 years of filming in and around Sitka.
