Alaska Trip Day 16

We woke up early this morning to the beautiful gulf & mountains and took an Alaska Saltwater Tour cruise from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. We saw Stellar sea lions, harbour seals, kittiwakes, puffins, otters, salmon, quite a number of humpback whales, eagles, Common Murre (look like miniature penguins) and a huge glacier. While we were watching the glacier you would hear a loud thunder and a large chunk would fall into the water and create a wave. The wave scatters the fish and the kittiwakes (seagulls) swoop down and get the fish. We were tired and wet by the time we got back. We stayed in Seward another night and got to wake up again to the mountains and gulf. This internet isn't is to weak to upload pictures so I will try from another site.
