Drift Ice Walk®
Head out into the frigid sea! A winter adventure exploring the drift ice.
At "Sinra" in Utoro, Shari Town, you can embark on a "Drift Ice Walk®" to explore the drift ice sea. Once you put on the special dry suit that integrates with your shoes over your clothes, you're ready to go. Off to the Sea of Okhotsk, where the drift ice floats! You can walk on the ice that covers the sea, take a break on the ice, or even float between the ice where the sea peeks through! In winter, you can walk to see the land scenery that can only be seen from a boat in summer. Shiretoko is a wintering ground for the Steller's sea eagle and white-tailed eagle, which are designated as national natural monuments and endangered species, so you might see them flying overhead during the Drift Ice Walk! This winter-only activity in the Sea of Okhotsk is available from early February to late March each year and is open to elementary school students over 130 cm tall.
