Fjords boat tour….



Otters playing in the water.






This is all I got of the dall porposies,  their little water spouts.. They are like little orcas and were very quick... we never knew where they would come up next....

 

Glaciers -- all a part of the Harding Ice Field



The above 2 pictures are part of the series I took of a glacier caving... when the ice hit the water it made a loud crashing sound.


 

Seals resting on a rock...


 

This guy looked like he was actually posing for the boat!




Some of the beautiful spire formations.



Luck was with us again…. Beautiful, warm, sunny weather for our boat tour… and the sea was not rough so we did not have problems with sea sickness…  this is a beautiful place and the only way you can get to see it is by boat.  We had a great tour.  One of the Park rangers was on the boat telling about the interesting things along the way.  He would also walk around and visit and answer questions about the area.    We had inside seats but spent most of the day out on the deck viewing all the sights there were to see.

Our captain would slow down and turn the boat so everyone had a good view of something interesting.  We saw a lot of birds, (even puffins…, otters… cute animals that float out in the water, seals sunning themselves out on  rocks, and one young humpback whale feeding close to the shore.  ( :( but did not get a picture because the did not come out of the water much…)  We also saw dall's porpoises.. No pictures of those either because they were so fast… but cute!

Most of all… the coast line was beautiful… of course the day being sunny helped a lot.  This was a 7 and 1/2 hour tour with lunch to it was a full day.
These pictures are just a few of what we saw that day.....
