Tracy Arm Tour

Breaching Humpback Whale in Stephen's Passage








Entering into Tracy Arm....
This inlet was created and is fed by two tide water galciers which explains the amount of iceburgs seen in the water and the steep cliffs which were carved out by the glaciers as they moved pass.

This tour was fun! I did it two days in a row and on the second day... we had a breaching whale in Stephen's Passage on the way there!

Great pictures as usual. I was asking about breaching whales in my last comment and then you see one on your next tour! Okay, so next I'd like to see a ....!! That waterfall coming down through the trees is really cool and you got some amazing pictures of the ice floating in the water and the mountains. That sunset picture is seriously breathtaking! I wish I took it!! You look like you're really enjoying yourself, I'm glad you're doing something that makes you so happy!
