26th May 2003 - Glacier Bay National Park

Another early start, but fortunately we got a little more sleep last night. We looked out of the porthole (window to you landlubbers) to see Margerie Glacier a few hundred metres away. Apparently there was a brown bear wandering along the shore earlier, but only those silly enough to be up on deck at 6:00am saw it.

We spent the day glacier and wildlife watching. You can see photos of some of the glaciers at left. I managed to get a photo of one of them calving - not a great photo though. I got some better photos of calving on our last day in Tracy Arm. I didn't get any digital photos of wildlife - it was all too far away.
