Flying in Alaska

Glaciers

 

These photos were taken from videotape on the same seaplane sightseeing flight as my Juneau photos. The flight was an optional excursion I took on a day in port from an Alaska cruise. Be sure to see the second page of Alaska Glaciers.

 

Our cruise went from Seward, Alaska to Vancouver, British Columbia. (Seward is a port in the Anchorage area.) This route is known as the Inner Passage and has become very popular over the past decade. Most cruises of this type last seven days and go in one direction. In our case, we flew to Anchorage and took a bus to Seward to board the cruise ship.

 

Don't confuse the glaciers with the mountains. The glacier is the river of ice between the mountains.
