Early breakfast as we gather to take the tour boat up Endicott Arm

Juneau and Dawes Glacier

Description

The Solstice’s bow wake in the narrow channel
Some bergs are completely transparent
A glacier-carved side valley
That valley has a ‘hanging glacier,’ the kind that does not reach the sea

Dawes Glacier

Description

Small pieces of ice are continually fallling in
A large chunk of rock falls from the valley wall
A seal joins our viewing party
This small expedition ship can get amost as close as we did
Brash and growler ice, with another seal in swimming
The crew brings a block of clean ice on deck for our drinks
Looking into Taku Arm
A humpback whale breaches
This bald eagle sees a fish…
Juneau comes into view
Early breakfast as we gather to take the tour boat up Endicott Arm

Juneau

Description

Juneau
A Holland America cruiser
The sun setting, which takes a long time at this latitude, as we leave town
Turning around in the channel
