I'll use this page to post some best of pictures that I bought from National Geographics while in Glacier Bay National Park. While we got 3 days that were clearly impacted by rain, out of 17, it wasn't too bad, and we didn't miss out on any major attractions. This year was the warmest year on record for Alaska. This caused the salmon run to be shifted and allowed us to see some Salmon catching in Katmai We didn't see bald eagles fishing though:
didn't see wild ones that close either :)
we didn't get that lucky, but close to it :)
this would have been awesome too, but likely pretty rare
but none of those pretty harlequin ducks, even if we saw cool ones in denali
that's farther than we went :)
we actually saw more seals on the ice than sea lions
rafts of sea otters are so cute :)
would have been really cool to see this
I'm very glad that we got to see an Aurora so early in the season, even if it was faint, and probably the only thing we missed out on wsa not having high power binoculars and high zoom cameras (mine was only 20X when 100X or more would have been useful on multiple occasions).
