Tracey Arm Fjord (Day 5)

Day 5 was another full day at sea but we started the morning by sailing up the Tracey Arm fjord.  We entered the fjord around 5am.  I got to the observation deck around 6am.  The fjord is narrow so we were going very slow.  They had to divert to the Endicott Arm due to heavy ice flow in the area.  No problem, that has the Dawes Glacier at the end so it was pretty amazing.

Again, a million pictures.  I hope you like photos of floating ice!

Entering the fjord

Look!  Floating Ice.  We learned this is too small to be called an iceberg.
It is a berglet (or something like that)




We actually got multiple sunrises as we moved past the mountains



The sea was so calm



There is no Blue like iceberg blue



Look at that reflection












Enjoying the show







This one was big enough to be an iceberg



Close up


It is hard to see with the sun but that is Dawes Glacier



Better view but it was definitely more impressive in real life




We spun around a couple of times, which was impressive since
 the ship is so big and the fjord is so narrow.  Everyone got a view








Leaving the glacier



Cool texture



Look at that water.  It looks tropical












Then we left the fjord and it was another day at sea.
