This is a dominant year run with an estimated 7.5 million adults returning to spawn in the Adams River. The ritual of sockeye salmon returning to the waters of the Adams has been occurring since glaciers carved out the present geography of British Columbia. Every four years since then, the quiet waters of the Adam River, 405 kilometres inland from the Pacific Ocean, become the scene of a natural miracle. While sockeye return to the river every year, the migration that occurs every fourth year (the dominant year of the cycle) dwarfs all others. I hope you enjoy the video!
