GlacierBay is a beautiful Heritage Site. There are magnificent mountains ,waterfalls, rock faces, and glaciers. Although there are 10 tidewater glaciers we can only see two because of the wind and rain.

There are lots of sea lions, otters ,bears ,moose ,bald eagles and whales ……so the rangers say. Spotted one orca swimming past and some sea otters. No photos ,they swim  fast and sensibly see this big white thing looming down towards them and say, let’s disappear. 
Look at the change in water colour as the sea meets the glacial waters. 

Now if you have any energy left after competing for the perfect photo with 300 other people, you can always relax with a drink. Yummy hot chocolate was offered while we looked at the glacier and braved the wind. Tea, coffee or something stronger is available in the many seating areas. Usually there is live music as well. There are interesting talks during the day but if you are looking for a more lively entertainment, at night  there is generally a show. We saw a ventriloquist.
