Then we went to the visitor center to see about going on a glacier trip to-day. We chose the one that would go to 2 glaciers and had a salmon and prime rib dinner. We had supper and went for a drive around, things have changed here also.
Stayed at Safeway over night.
This morning we had to catch the boat for our 7 1/2 hr trip. The weather couldn't be better in the 70 degrees. The list of wildlife was incredible. Humpback Whales, Orca (killer) Whales, Fin wales (the 2nd largest whale in the world). Steller Sea Lions, sea otters, Harbor seals, Dall's Porpoise these swim in front and beside the boat great to watch, Salmon, Puffins, Kittiwakes Cormorants, and Common Murres,
Went to 2 tide water glaciers this means they end at the waters edge they are just huge. Saw one calving, that means breaking off and falling into the water.
