Cruising College Fjord – 15th May
How wrong we were. We thought yesterday could not be bettered but today we cruised into College Fjord passing not one glacier but nine glaciers, before again stopping in front of the huge Harvard Glacier, lingering in front of it for an hour and taking in the views and spotting the wildlife, namely seals and sea otters and the occasional bald eagle and mountain goat.
As you can see from the photographs of yesterday and today, the weather has been tremendous, although temperatures only reached 7 degrees. The sun shone and showed off the scenery to its best. We are advised by the locals that this weather is extremely rare for this time of year. How fortunate we are.
This marks the end of three magnificent days in Alaska and our ship will now turn around and start its return journey back down Alaska to Skagway.
PS. We have had some difficulty writing these latest blogs as we are sitting in our cabin spotting many whales, humpback and orcas and dolphins swimming past our balcony.
