Alaska 2008: Day 6 (Glacier Bay)
Posted on June 14th, 2008 2 comments
We spent our sixth day cruising through Glacier Bay, Alaska. If you like glaciers,
this is the place to be. After the link I’ve got a bunch of photos, plus some
cool movies of glaciers calving.
Morning balcony view
One of many glaciers in Glacier Bay
See those tiny brown things? Those are brown bears.
Calving glacier
Lots of blue ice floating around
Cool striations in the ice
Aren’t their feet cold?
Our ship would just park in front of a glacier and wait for things to happen
Then, you’ll hear a "crack", and the ice collapses into the Bay.
Yours truly, trying to stay warm
Yet another glacier
They opened up the bow of the ship for glacier viewing
Love the blue ice
We had guides from the NPS onboard… here they’re on their way homeAnd now, two movies that I put together from still photos:
The next gallery will be the last one from the cruise portion

That blue ice is SO cool. I’d love to see that one day.

Yes, this blue ice is really cool! Did they tell you why this ice is blue? It is a blue color like nearly artificial, but it is natural! Great shots, also the “photofilm” is impressing!!
Maybe nice to see also: Rotterdam, a city like San Francisco with a special bridge and special buildings.
