The next leg of the Gregorian cruise along Alaska is now available here or select the “Alaska3” tab above.

The excitement on this day (after riding helicopters to and fro one glacier) was visiting another glacier, this time by boat. As we traveled up the Endicott Arm of Stephen’s Passage, more and more icebergs appeared in the fjord. Here you can see a couple of the larger ones, but most of them seemed quite small (I wonder if those are words heard on the bridge of the Titanic?). I found more interesting the scoured texture of the rocks on the shoreline. It is said that the “arm” has been carved out by Dawes Glacier. Here you can get a sense of that observation.
