This is Tracy Arm Fjord Glacier in Alaska. The Tracy Arm area covers 653,179 acres (2,643.32 km2) and consists of two deep and narrow fjords: Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm. Both fjords are over 30 miles (48 km) long and one-fifth of their area is covered in ice. During the summer, the fjord has considerable floating ice ranging from the size of a three-story building to hand-size pieces. During the most recent glaciated period, this fjord filled with active glaciers.
The next few pictures are of the ride to and from Tracy Arm Fjord.










We also saw several seal families on iceburgs, and
whale sprouts & tails.
