On our way to Tracy Arm<\/a>, the Captain of the Amsterdam decided there was too much ice flowing out of that fjord, so we do not turn north into Tracy Arm, but south to Dawes Glacier at the end of\u00c2\u00a0Endicott Arm. \u00c2\u00a0Here you can see a large glacier hanging on the mountain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And our first ice bergs! \u00c2\u00a0I don’t know what size they have to be to actually be called “ice bergs”, but sense these look like pretty large chunks of ice (we are still several miles away!) I’m going with “ice bergs”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the many sea birds I can’t identify from the angle I had. \u00c2\u00a0It isn’t my favorite bird’s name though…that would be a Rhinoceros Auklet! \u00c2\u00a0It “flys” the same way, running on the surface of the water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is that glacier we saw above.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And is a bit more detail. \u00c2\u00a0Note the waterfalls, and we are still miles away.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A look at our first ice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the literally thousands of waterfalls.<\/p>\n

A four photo (vertical) panorama as we approach Dawes Glacier, with the Dailylife Wife.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The well bundled up photographer. \u00c2\u00a0For some reason it is cold by all this ice!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An unobstructed view of Dawes Glacier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While that water may look rough, you don’t notice it until you see yourself moving…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually, it was perfectly smooth on the ship. \u00c2\u00a0I was taking a selfie of us with the camera at full arms length, and I took a few shots to make sure one of them was good! \u00c2\u00a0I guess I didn’t hold my hand in quite the same place for each one…<\/p>\n

A convenient place to rest, if you are a seal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A three photo panorama of Dawes Glacier. \u00c2\u00a0Click on it a couple of times to see if larger, and BACK to return!<\/p>\n

More on Dawes Glacier in the next post, including ice falls in motion!<\/p>\n
