Des' Alaska/Canada Trip #13 - Ice, Ice, Baby

What's a trip to Alaska without shots of icebergs eh?
Glacier Bay
The ship clears a path through the ice for some sea kayakers, with the Johns Hopkins Glacier in the background
This doesn't look that impressive until you realise the wall of ice is probably 60-80m tall!! We stood there are watched the glacier calving continuously for ages - probably once every couple of minutes, acompanied by a loud crack, like thunder.

South Sawyer Glacier - all the bits of ice are falling off this glacier!!
