Voyage to the Arctic; Day 6: The Glaciers

Another day all at sea, navigating between islands and huge pokey-outy bits of the Alaskan coastline.

Today is a day that we were thankful for our balcony overlooking the magical mystery that is the Alaskan coastline.

Yes, we have a balcony. Now don't run away with the idea that we were to sit out there all day admiring the view. No. The challenge was to get out there, snap a photo, and get back in before bits of you fell off.

My search for wildlife continued in vain, with only visiting chicken-drumstick-hunters searching for lunch.

And maybe a seal?

As we went further north, the sea began to fill with mini-icebergs.

A wall of ice was ahead of us, blocking our way.

We did a quick 180 (it took about half an hour)...

...only to be blocked by yet another glacier. This time, a blue version. We could go no further. Time to start the long voyage home, all the way to Vancouver, with just one more stop en route.
