The excursion Captain got us surprisingly close to the Sawyer Glacier.
Is that not just the BLUEST chunk of ice you have ever seen?
Not sure if you are going to be able to tell what this is, but a tad to the right of center, you can see the ice falling into the water as the glacier calves. We observed this happening several times, and ALA seemed to have a sixth sense as to when it was about to happen. This was one of the highlights of the entire trip, and possibly my favorite part.
This is the Sawyer South Glacier. Sawyer and Sawyer South were actually part of the same glacier about a hundred years ago, but are quite separated, now.
As we were heading out of the arm, we spied a harbor seal catching some rays.
When we got closer, she gave us a dirty look. Seems we awoke the baby.
And here is your perspective shot...
I just loved this excursion...the beauty, the waterfalls, the wildlife...i think it was my favorite part.
