ALASKA - AT SEA JUNE 28 AND 29

We were at sea for two days during which time we saw three glaciers and some very amazing scenery.  The following pictures describe the scenes and glaciers.

As we cruised, we saw a beautiful coastline.

As we got closer, the coastline became clearer.

That coastline became the Hubbard Glacier.  The slope of the glacier reminds me of a ski hill.

This is the Holland America ship, the Zandam leaving while we were waiting.

We left Hubbard Glacier and sailed to Glacier Bay the second day where we saw two glaciers.

Lamplugh Glacier in Glacier Bay.  Our ship was much further out than the smaller ship in this picture.

This picture gives some perspective as to how high the glacier is.

As we left Glacier Bay, this jutting rock reminded me of a turtle.
