If I were opening this page on a website I wouldn’t believe it was real. But alas, I was there, took this photo and reveled in the incredible beauty of something so rare in my lifetime. It’s really hard to comprehend the magnitude of the glaciers. The size of the icebergs are also hard to understand from the deck of a huge cruise ship. The only photos that represent this are those of the smaller ship moving closer to the ice. There are two days of glacier glory. The first day was sunny and warm in Glacier Bay. The second day was cold and foggy in College Fjord. But on the second day there were seals. Many seals resting on the ice at the foot of the glaciers. Both days illicited a mantra that I repeated to myself over and over – I am close to heaven, what a lucky girl I am.
