Finally the weather has turned our way, at least for a while. We arrived in in Seward, Alaska, under blue skies, and headed out on a cruise to the Northwestern Fjord and its spectacular glaciers. This was an 8 hour boat ride, filled with views of humpback whales, orcas, stellar sea lions, harbor seals, puffins, gulls, and other sea birds. Except for some foggy areas where we got closest to the Pacific Ocean, we had clear weather and sun the whole time. While on that cruise, we booked another one for our second day here. Sadly, the weather did not hold up on the second day, but the glacier we visited was actively “calving” while we were there. The activity is hard to capture on film, since you are bouncing around on a boat and it is very hard to anticipate. On top of it all, one part which had been quite active while we were there, decided to totally let loose as we were leaving and I was not able to get any video. It was quite something to see though.
Below are the best of the pictures I did get on our two days of cruising.
