One of the coolest parts about taking a cruise ship up the Alaska coast are the stops along the way. We stopped at the cities of Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Whittier on our journey, as well as a day jaunt into Glacier Bay where only a certain alottment of ships are allowed a day. The reason for this is to keep the environment's integrity. Any major movements of the water affects the glaciers, which can sometimes move up to 17 inches a day. The wildest part is when you hear the thunderous sound of a glacier calving into the ocean. It is magnificent!

Hi Danielle,
Thanks for sharing you blog and thoughts about Alaska. I love the TC Show Tougher in Alaska and Deadliest Catch. It seems like such a wild state!
FYI, the picture in this blog looks pretty blurry. Al the other pics in your blog seem fine, so you may want to see what the resolution of your image is and maybe decrease the size so that it doesn't look as blurry.

You might have to adjust the size of the Glacier Bay picture, it looks like it's stretching out of the text area.
Fantastic pictures, thank you for sharing them!
