Icy Strait - Great excursion-Flightseeing

[SEPyle]

We absolutely loved our day at Icy Strait Point, our very favorite of the cruise! What made this port so wonderful was: the people; the Land; and their Culture! In saying this we started out our day with taking the Flightseeing excursion over Glacier Bay. I have to say I have never spent so much in my life for an excursion (three of us - $855-ouch), but I'm so so glad we did! Just taking off was and experience. There must have been 15-20 eagles just sitting on logs in the field! It was a beautiful day and I got some really nice pictures.

 

I will try to attach them here. My first attempt with web shots: http://community.webshots.com/user/sepyle

 

Hope you enjoy as much as I do sharing!

When I wrote the post I realized I left out some pics, starting with the eagles. I've just added some more, but it takes about 1/2 hour for them to be added.

 

Have a wonderful day and if your time in Alaska is in the planning stages, I'm envious. I'm ready to go back now!

Spectacular pictures, Sharon! Planes and helicopters are expensive, but are the only way to see views like that--priceless.
