Last Thursday's Glacier Cruise

So I'm just going to have to slideshow this one because we took so many photos. For those of you who have interest... there you go!

So we took off for Seward Thursday morning for the glacier day cruise. We were warned about choppy weather when we got there, and at times the waves were 5' - thank goodness for Dramamine!

The main attraction of the cruise was, of course, the glacier. It was amazing! We were there about 20 minutes and we were able to see it 'cap' several times. Once a piece broke off that was the size of our boat (that held 100 people). Here's someone else's video of this same glacier - this is very similar to what we saw. Keep in mind that the boat is a quarter mile away from the glacier. It's a lot larger than it looks!

As far as sealife, we spotted eagles, puffuns (our favorite!), a humpback whale and a humpback whale baby, sea lions, sea otters!
