Cruising the Glacier Bay Basin
South Eastern Alaska, United States of America
26 August 2010
Grey skies are going to clear up – well that’s what the Captain said 😊
It didn’t quite work out that way though.
Early in the morning it looked a bit ho-hum
Is that a little bit of blue sky I see
Didn’t last for long tho’ 😟
Margerie Glacier
 Later in the day
Sunset coming from behind very low cloud over what looks like an ice field
But is in fact is a bank of even lower cloud low on the horizon
Covering 3.3 million acres of rugged mountains, dynamic glaciers, temperate rainforest, wild coastlines and deep sheltered fjords, Glacier Bay National Park is a highlight of Alaska’s Inside Passage and part of a 25-million acre World Heritage Site—one of the world’s largest international protected areas. Source

WOW. And repeat.
