Day 12 - Glacier Bay National Park


Reminiscing travelers often tick off the number of sights they've encountered in order to prove that a place is memorable. Yet, we all know that it's the whole experience that matters, the conglomeration of everything. Today's conglomeration, for instance, was more than seeing whales, sea otters, tufted puffins, seals, black bears, mountain goats, terns, bald eagles, a huge brown bear, and glaciers really close up. Our boat approached the Margery glacier very closely, and we waited. Do you know why birds nest in glaciers? We also saw sea lions basking on an iceberg and a bald eagle perched on another iceberg close to the glacier. Guess why!
