A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Very early in the morning we drifted silently into College Fjord, and the first glaciers came into view.



These glaciers are all named after colleges who have contributed funds and studies to the area. I know one is Havard, etc.



Some people may think that once you’ve seen a few glaciers, missing a few won’t matter…



These ice chunks look small but must be larger than a school bus.



Smaller cruise ship getting up close.



Otterberg



Floating otters.



Glassy waters



Morning light



If you get bored with the glaciers, there’s always shopping. This is shopping central.



Or eating. Ice sculptures:

Later we entered the glorious blue waters of Glacier Bay National Park

Juvenile bald eagles. The one on the right had just caught a fish

Thar she blows!



And blows…



Several humpback whales



Next: Skagway and journey into the Yukon

2 favs...close up of the glacier (showing the blues) and "Morning Light"...Totally awesome. Thanks for sharing.

awwwwww,.... loved the otterberg! I don't think I could sleep much,..too afraid i'd miss something. Were you close enough to catch a whif of that "whale breath?" The closeup of the glacier is amazing with the vertical streaks of color in it! Great photos as usual!

Simply - WOW

OMG your photos are awesome!!!!! That boat looked so small out there with all that ice - scary! Can anyone say Titanic? Loved the otters, the sunset, the ice - EVERYTHING. Keep them coming.

Great Pic Liz. Brings back such memories. Loved my trip to Alaska. Have you been ti Sitka and watched the Russian dancers?

Nan

Nan, we didn't stop in Sitka, so missed the Russian dancers. Next time....another reason to go back.

I never thought of "whale breath"
All those beautiful pictures, I just gotta go there!

I love your pictures and seeing Alaska! I think the glaciers are beautiful but I would be a little afraid of getting very close. What a great bunch of memories you must have. Thank you so much for sharing.
