Activity
Drift Ice Cruise ~Abashiri Drift Ice Sightseeing Icebreaker Aurora~
A miraculous view of the Sea of Okhotsk [drift ice] Cruising!
Drift ice is born on the northern coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, and continues to grow as it is swept away by the wind and ocean currents until it reaches the coast of Hokkaido and eastern Hokkaido. On some days you can see the precious view of the sea covered in pure white, and on other days the ice floes are washed far away depending on the weather conditions. You can experience the power and excitement up close by riding the [Aurora].
Points
Recommended points from the person in charge
There is no guarantee that you will be able to see the drift ice during the operation period, but you can see various expressions depending on the season and time of day. Also, if you are lucky, you may be able to spot white-Haliaeetus albicilla and seals.
