This site is also a breeding ground for thousands of other seabirds including the world's most southerly thick-billed murres. Here we also enjoy some of the world's finest land-based whale watching as the high seacliffs allow us to watch the whales cavort around their northern coastal feeding grounds. From our naturalist, we learn about the cultural and natural history of this subarctic area. This program is a great opportunity to observe whale research in action and appreciate the company of majestic great whales in their northern feeding grounds. Based in St. John's, Newfoundland, pariticipants stay in a comfortable lodge, offering double occupancy accommodations with private bath.
