The highpoint of the Glacier was the visit to Surprise Glacier. As we approached the glacier, we encountered quite a bit of wildlife.

Here are some sealions basking on some rocks:


Here are some seals on the rash ice (floating chunks) near the glacier:


Here are a group of sea otters checking out the boat to make sure we don't get too close to their raft:


And then we spotted a humpback whale. After several tries, I caught this photo as the whale put on a display right in front of the boat:


Surprise Glacier was amazing. The front of the ice at the waterline is about half a mile wide. The colors in the ice are amazing:
