Thu, Aug 1: Glacier Bay

Good weather.
Cruised through Glacier Bay.  Only two cruise ships allowed a day.

The opening to Glacier Bay, with very low clouds in the gap. 


Once through into bay, clouds cleared up.

We passed several glaciers, including Lumplugh Glacier, Reid Glacier, and Johns Hopkins glacier.







The Marguerite Glacier.  
¼ to ½ mile away, 1 mile wide, 250 feet high, 100 under water.


A small calving (the next four slides - a small chunk in the middle falling):




A larger calving splash:






On our way out:
