 Cruise ship sails into the Glacier Bay, Alaska 2022/Carlos Pueblo

Even though it was in the end of the spring, the winter snow is still at the top of mountains at the near or far away. We were sailing to the Margerie Glacier at the end of the Glacier Bay. Rangers of the National Park came up to the ship to do the introduction services. The sip is designed for this particular voyage in Alaska to view glaciers all summer seasons. A 15th deck is one of many areas to view glaciers. We were late to have a seat; therefore, we selected the deck 8 forward outside to get closed to the glacier. The captain is very good to get the huge ship as closer as possible for many hours.

I am still very excited even though I have been to this particular site 8 times. I count this back to back as twice. The Margerie Glacier is about 21 miles long and very tall. The brown color is the dirt soil carried from the top of the mountain. Another glacier, Hubbard Glacier on another route, you can see some blue color ice due to the sunlight reflection. I just check the Google search, the largest glacier is the Bering Glacier which has something to do with the famous Bering Straight where Indians crossed to the North America long time ago.

There is a definition of the Glacier which you can find in dictionary and I believe that the ranger does explain it well. The winter snow stays and accumulates all times, of course, there is melting snow yet must be accumulating continually or can not be called as a glacier. There is a concerned of the global warming effect which eliminates some glaciers in the world.

The general manager is very considerate to prepare hot and sweet Coco for viewers to be warm up when come back inside. As a matter of the fact, this ship has provided such treat on every port when we come back from outside in cold. The captain makes a 180 degree turn to switch side which is facing the glacier., therefore, room holders on both sides can have their view from their balcony rooms to see it from their expansive rooms.

At around three p.m. we started to leave the Bay back to our voyage to the next stop, Skagway.
