Tracy Arm Glacier, Alaska

Tracy Arm Glacier is so incredible and we were lucky enough to see a large piece of the Glacier break away and fall into the green water and make a big splash!  It is a once in a lifetime opportunity.  The chances of that happening is just about nil!  The Captain made sure both sides of the ship could look at the Glacier and we all appreciated that decision very much.

This is the incredible Tracy Arm Glacier.

This is the piece of Glacier that broke off and Layla captured.

The Glacier piece falling into the sea.

This is the last splash the Glacier piece made as it sunk below the sea.

Beautiful close up.  Glaciers are blue.

Another wonderful picture of the Tracy Arm Glacier.

This is a closeup of the other side of the front of the the Tracy Arm Glacier. This looks like a cave.

Me and Rialey are looking at the Tracy Arm Glacier from our big balcony.  What a view we had!

The Ice Flow almost divided the waters up between two colour greens.  One side near the cliffs were very green and the other side near the ship was a darker green.  The Mountains with their snowy caps and the huge mountains with large scraps across them from Glaciers moving against them, made for a wonderful slow cruise up iceberg alley and towards Tracy Arm Glacier.  This was the only time we needed our like coats on.  It was a little chilly but the weather was so hot in all the other places we visited.

The icebergs divided the water up and one side was more green than the other. It was so pretty.

This is a good picture of the different colour seas caused by the icebergs.

All the gouges you see in the rock were caused by the Glaciers as they moved and scraped against the rock.

Some icebergs were very blue, others became dirty.

The view from our big balcony was awesome!  In fact, the view from any part of the ship was great.  Layla climbed as high as passengers were allowed to go to catch some really fab pictures.  Breathtaking is all I can say.  We kept saying to ourselves, this is unbelievable and we are here, in Alaska, watching this incredible scenery!   What a trip, so amazing!

After we left Tracy Arm Glacier, we sailed unto Ketchikan, Alaska.  That will be another story post.  I hope you enough the wonderful pictures.  I also hope your dream to go to Alaska will come true for you as well.

Thanks everybody.  Please leave a comment if you enjoyed these pictures.
