Day 2 in Seward, the boat ride

Day 2 in Seward found us on a boat ride. We hit the road, er, the water, around 10:30 a.m. and took a six-hour cruise. I would have been happy with another six hours, it was incredible.

We started the ride with a visit from a humpback whale:

Next, we stopped at a glacier and watched it calve for a good half-hour. If you've never listened to the sound of a glacier calving, you haven't lived.

Next, we had great luck in also running into these killer whales. What would Steve Irwin say? "Look at them, aren't they magnificent?!" What a day!

Finally, here's some cool fog rolling in over the top of a mountain in Resurrection Bay. I think this is caused by a glacier on the other side of the hill.
