Glacier Bay - August 3

GLACIER BAY TODAY
Saturday August 3

Picking up the naturalists 

Rendu Glacier

It goes forever

A friend joins us

Looking back toward Lamplugh Glacier

Getting close to Margerie Glacier

First glimpse of Margerie Glacier

The face of Margerie Glacier is 250 feet above the waterline

Grand Pacific Glacier is to the right of Margerie


The face of Margerie Glacier

It cleared up enough to look above the face of Margerie and see where she comes from, Mt. Fairweather at 15,300 feet


Snuggled up to keep warm

A very small calving

Heading away from Margerie to John Hopkins Inlet

Love the color of glacier water


Around the corner is John Hopkins Inlet


Across the inlet is Lumplaugh Glacier


Inside John Hopkins Inlet


Topeka Glacier from Jaw Point

John Hopkins Glacier from Jaw Point approximately 5 miles away


Heading out from Jaw Point.  For reference there are 5 sea kayaks with 2 people in each in the foreground of the photo.



The "face" of Lumplaugh Glacier





Heading back out of Glacier Bay.  40 miles to go.

We saw a lot of whales on the way out but they were very far away.  We were lucky to get a distant photo of one.

Dropping off the naturalists and leaving Glacier Bay
