Lions(sea), otters and whales oh my!
... experience. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to share the sounds. The engines were shut down so we could listen to the thundering ice cracking and hear the incredible splashes from the much calving (large chunks of glacier sliding into the water) going on. This left all four of us silent (some would have said an impossible task). When we leave the glacier we head back to Fox Island for a buffet dinner of salmon, prime ...
Seward's Folly
