Alaska Cruise: Day 5, Glacier Bay

Weather: Sunny, temperature 16 degree Celsius. Sunrise 4:08, Sunset 21:36
Today is scenic cruise in to Glacier Bay. This is the place for many glaciers, wild life including whales, sea otters, etc.
And thank you God again, today you give us with another beautiful day. They said during cloudy or rainy days, sometimes you couldn't see anything in Glacier Bay.








 Margerie Glacier





 The ice was calving. The calving was not so big, actually I hoped for bigger one with tremendous sound :).


Glacier Bay is home for many birds. This bird is Black-legged Kittiwake with thousands population here. But now scientists are worry as their numbers are not increasing.





 John Hopkins Glacier



 Reid Glacier



Whale. But it was too far to see it clearly. We saw many whales blowing near to the shore as we were leaving Glacier Bay.

Sea Otter
