2007 07 – Alaska Cruise – Day 2

The weather was clear but cool, the outside swimming pools were empty today.

The cruise ship slowly gets closer to a large glacier, you have a great view as the ship comes in and then slowly turns around before heading back out.

You can see the sediment in the glacier as it slowly moves its way from the mountain peaks down into the ocean.

The cruise ship may look close to the glacier but we are actually almost a kilometre away.

A small boat in the area between the cruise ship gives some perspective towards the size of the glacier

The blocks of ice near the glaciers do not bother the cruise ship. As the cruise ships traverses through the area, the blocks of ice are gently pushed to the side from the wake of the ship, it doesn't area that any of the ice blocks even touch the ship.

Another glacier in the distance. The cruise ship is not able to get as close to this one but it's still a magnificent sight.
