Sometimes an adventure is just too good for words. That about sums up our recent 3-week excursion to Alaska. Planes, boats, and trains (and a rental car) combined to help us find what we were looking for in a genuine travel adventure. Then a road/train trip from Anchorage north to Denali and south to Seward and then Whitney, where we boarded our little DISCOVERY vessel to spend a week searching out wildlife, glacier, and wilderness in the silent bays of Prince William Sound.

Discovery and Chenega Glacier with visible seals on ice (the little dark dots are harbor seals on the ice pack). The glacial faces we visited could be a mile high, more than a mile long. Capt. Dean pointed out that movement of the glaciars was quite dinamic... from year to year, this glacier might move forward and backward over the long black bedrock to the left of the picture.
