Day 5: Glacier Bay



Sunday, May 30 was a beautiful day in Glacier Bay. We spent most of an entire day cruising there. Early in the morning we picked up 2 National Rark rangers and a Tlingit "interpreter". (who did programs during the trip) We spent most of the day outdoors marveling at the scenery. We saw Glaciers calving but the icebergs here are not as awesome as Tracy Arm.. On the beach we saw a brown bear (with our binoculars). Most of the wildlife is found in the shallower waters at the opening to the bay. There we saw seals and sea lions on the rocks, otters and porpoises quite near the boat, and humpback whales all around. About 4 our rangers were picked up in a small boat.
