A little about this view

An underwater camera in Brooks River follows sockeye salmon swimming upstream to spawn. A brown bear may occasionally pass through the water.

A good time to watch

During the summer and autumn salmon run, when the camera has enough daylight to operate.

Worth remembering

Wildlife comes and goes. A live camera can be quiet, dark or wonderfully unpredictable.
