This morning we got up at 5:30 am to watch the icebergs float by as we traversed the Tracy Arm fjord. This is our second time in Tracy Arm, and we’ve loved it both times – it’s like a having a series of ice sculptures float by your window for 3 hours. The ship’s naturalist would come on the PA system at intervals to point things out. This was cool, but also irritating because 1) it was often hard to hear, 2) we could rarely see the things he pointed out (overheard later in the elevator: Man: did you see the bear? Woman: I guess so – it was just a black speck.), and 3) he tended to rhapsodize in bad poetry mode (at one point I was afraid my eyeballs might actually lodge in my skull). But still, it was mostly OK, and the scenery was gorgeous. Lots of waterfalls, too – you could actually hear them from the ship! I took about 18 million photos of ice, all very like the others, but a few turned out pretty well, and I present them here for your viewing pleasure \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
