Today was an amazing day! We got on the train in Anchorage at 10am and left for Whittier. The train ride was about 2 hours but very beautiful! We got to Whittier and it was pouring cold rain and we were a little bummed as we had a 5 hour glacier tour ahead of us. We boarded the boat while laughing wondering what the day would have in store. The first two hours were a bit slow but then we came upon some amazing sites! Below are just some of the 150 pictures we took!!! The sea otters and bald eagles were amazing! The ice was just unreal and nothing I could imagine. You see trees, waterfalls, glaciers, ice chunks and ocean all in one place! We heard major cracking and caving (meaning falling of ice). Here are some of the pictures....I will put more on if I feel the need :).
