We spent the morning cruising through Glacier Bay’s west arm on a drizzly day, approaching Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers. The tall sides of the U-shaped valley tell the history of ice movement through the park. The rain and low hanging wisps of fog gave an ethereal mood to the morning. 

We watched for harbor seals, sea birds, and otters swimming in the water as we saw ice calving off the face of Margerie.

We saw mountain goat nanny and kid pairs on Gloomy Knob, followed by puffins and Steller sea lions at South Marble Island.

We ended the evening with walks at Bartlett Cove. It was another gorgeous day in Southeast Alaska.
