In the twelfth of 20 episodes of The Grand View, artist Stefan Baumann discovers the beach where it is theorized that English explorer Sir Francis Drake once landed. This beautiful episode proves to be one of the most diverse landscapes in America, featuring over 330 species of animals, and some of the most shocking manifestations of plate tectonics on the West Coast. As he journeys this National Seashore, he meets up with Kate McClain, kayaking tour guide; John Del’osso, National Park Ranger, and peniped biologist, Dr. Sarrah Allen. Baumannn concludes by painting Sir Francis Drake’s “White Cliffs of Dover”, a tidal flat on the west side of the park.
