Whittier,Alaska
















Monday we went on a glacier cruise for 6 hrs. We saw the calving of the glacier, which makes a loud cracking sound and then falls into the water. Then comes the wave. The boat held 350 people so was pretty big and calm bay water. There was also a group of sea otters. They were all mamas and baby otter. This otter is larger than the ones we have in Florida. They carry their babies until the baby is almost as big as the mom. We stayed at Williwaw campground near the outskirts of town. We traveled through a 5 mile tunnel to get to the cruise.
