		His latest assault was on the Shumagin Islands archipelago, which consists of about 22 treeless volcanic islands located near the tip of the Alaska Peninsula in Northern Pacific Ocean.
		The area is known for one of the worst marine weather around the globe, because of its location on the collision of warmer Pacific Ocean and cold Bering Sea weather systems.
		The rough weather around the islands was quite a challenge, but they were able to observe fantastic seascape and an incredible variety of marine wildlife, including a remarkable comeback of nearly extinct sea otters.
