On the Saguenay

We stopped at L'anse St. Jean to kayak on the Saguenay.



The fjord was carved by glaciers over 10,000 years ago. Water here is a mix of bracken water for the first 60 feet and then salt water in the deeper areas. While fresh water and salt water fish usually cannot swim in the same water, here fresh water fish are found closer to the surface and salt water fish are found in the depths which can reach 273 metres.
The sun occasionally broke through the clouds to light up the fjord and the skies, but just before it finally set, it cast a salmon colour glow to mark the days end.
