Day 5 - Glacier Bay National Park
Today we are sailing round Glacier Bay national park. The scenery is what you see in cruise ship catalogues, it really does exist and there is only one word. exquisite and even that isn't descriptive enough. I don't think there are too many places in the world, where you can go almost right up to a glacier and see the ice actually breaking off, called calving. The entire day is spent cruising round the park surrounded by snow capped mountains and many glaciers and abundant wildlife. Some of the wildlife seen was a moose swimming, at least five sightings of brown bears, loads of whales and seals and even a sea otter!
