Vanderbilt Reef - Alaska

Vanderbilt Reef in Alaska gives you a glimpse into a chilly, productive ecosystem. You'll often find dense schools of eulachon and Pacific herring, a real draw for larger predators like harbour porpoise and even orcas passing through. Green sea urchins carpet the rocky areas. It's a spot for divers who appreciate colder water diving and observing dynamic schooling behaviour.
