Here's the gang relaxing around the campfire with the world's best view. I used my timer and Ike's tripod to take this photo. The tide water glaciers in Barry Arm and Harriman Fjord are very active. When a glacier calves like this it sounds just like thunder and creates a huge wave. I awoke several times during the night to this incredible sound. We had a great time paddling through the ice. This is Cox Glacier. We spent our second night in Harriman Fjord across from Surprise Glacier. Again, we had wonderful weather for paddling and camping. Cathy is good friends with Brad Phillips, owner of the 21 Glacier Cruise ship the Klondike Express. Cathy called Capt Brad on the radio and asked for some refreshments. They gave us a large sack full of beer and vodka. The tourists got a kick out of it as well. These two photos were taken by Ike Waits. |
