Leaving the campground, Jim and I saw a bald eagle land on the piling in the water. So we pulled over, and I got about 15 feet away from this gorgeous creature!!!

the eagle, again...
and on the way to the Exit Glacier, two new Venezuelan friends ran up to Sandie, saying they had seen some moose on the path. 3 of them! So Sandie, the two new Venezuelan friends and I ran ahead on the path, moose-hunting. We didn’t find the three that our friends had seen, but saw this guy!!!!

a moose!!
The Exit Glacier was fantastic to see. Amazing. It actually looks bluer in the photos than it did in reality. Funny.

So glad your lens got caught all zoomed out! The Eagle is fantastic! And… I’ve always wanted to see a glacier like that! Ever since my junior high science report on glaciers. We definitely have to go back.
I’m so sorry we didn’t get a chance to meet!!! When will you be back in AK?
Cath,
Your pictures are fantastic! What an awesome trip. Thanks for sharing.

how far did you move the glacier?
