End your journey alongshore in Squamish, the northern tip of Howe Sound where the Squamish River fans out into an estuary that sits at the geographic center of the Biosphere Reserve.

The only volcanic rocks the traveller alongshore will see, however, are at Port Desire and south of the Rio Gallegos.

Midsummer was far past when, by one of those sudden and almost instantaneous changes of which the polar pack is possible, a favorable wind and fortunate current dissipated the ice-covering of the inlet, and alongshore, stretching far to the north, an ice-free channel appeared.

As we were then at a great distance from the place, whence we brought the natives, having pulled for four hours alongshore, and as they seemed to be quite at their ease, and contented, I would not secure our guides as prisoners, but allowed them to lie by the fire in charge of the man on watch.

We therefore hastened towards a long reef of outlying rocks, which might afford some shelter, as a breakwater, during the night, but found such overfalls near them, that we were again obliged to continue our route alongshore in the dark.
