Glacier Bay

I have posted pictures that we took in Glacier Bay several days ago. We were able to get our three days permits, and enjoyed the sights in this vast bay that is about 65 miles in length, and has many arms projected out from it, most of which end at the face of a massive glacier. We were able to get close to Reid Glacier, where we anchored for the night.
You may have heard about the grounding of a cruise ship in Glacier Bay -- we were there! It is a smaller version of a cruise ship, actually a tour boat about 200 feet long with only about 50 persons on board. It was an interesting exercise listening on the VHF radio, to all the rescue boats and helicopters rushing to the scene. There were no injuries to persons, nor damage to the ship, and they were able to float off the sandbar at next high tide, so it was a good outcome.
The 'arms' of the Bay are loaded with small ice bergs, bergy bits and floes of ice that often close the passage for boats to get very close. We loved this little chunk of glacial ice with the two eagles going for a ride!
