The edge of a large glacier.  Notice the deep blue ice where it has been calving.  The blue is apparently due to a lack of air in the highly compressed ice, though later a Seward taxi driver told me science doesn't really know why it's blue.  So please, don't tell science our secret.

  • As the sun set, we headed towards a fog bank.  This is a view from the bow of the ship.
  • Fog in the distance.

  • Our ship, the Sapphire Princess.
  • The view from the plane shortly after takeoff.
  • Lots of inlets and small islands around Juneau.
  • The glacier fields start.
