8-28-07 Tracy Arm

 The next morning we awoke to a cruise through the Tracy Arm Fjord. We were told that a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides, created in a valley carved out by a glacial.

 At the end of Tracy Arm are 2 glaciers. We were able to get fairly close to one of the Sawyer Glaciers.

 The icebergs in the water were colorful.

 Hard to tell here, but the water was a really milky colored blue green---from the melting of the icebergs.

 The water was really calm in the fjord.

 beautiful reflections.

I thought this was pretty impressive, but on a later cruise, I got to see Glacier Bay and would pick it over Tracy Arm anyday!
