Glacier Bay June 22nd

Glacier Bay only allows two liners, one hour per day in as it is a National park. It has 2 main glaciers plus heaps of smaller ones and of course heaps of wild life.
It was yet again cold 7deg and raining so our umbrella which we had bought in a op shop came it very handy as we stood out on deck for an hour or so.
As we were at the huge Margerie Glacier we were treated to several carvings of the glacier which is when pieces basically fall off. It makes a big sound and one was so massive that it caused a swell and the ship to rock somewhat. The sea around the ship fills with bits of the glacier making great colours and patterns. the ship served hot pea soup which they do as a tradition.It really was spectacular
