While visiting Alaska during a port stop in Sitka, Alaska during the Holland America Eurodam cruise, a colleague showed me the spot where you could sea salmon jumping. I have never seen anything like this and it was amazing. They just jumped and jumped and then jumped some more. I googled to find out why and there were several reasons, which I share at the end of the video. But if you have ideas, leave them in the comments, please. Just amazing. #shorts #sea #explore Our Around the World video series is here!
