This is summer? We crossed the bar into Endicott Arm for the second time this summer and it still was frosty looking. We passed two eagles guarding the entrance then began dodging ice bergs and small pieces of clear ice we called "bergie bits."
Some of us were less worried about a Titanic scenario than others.
Carved mountains...
With shear, patterned granite cliffs...
and glacier-carved valleys lined both sides.
Birds, seals...
and this mountain goat watched us go by.
At last the glacier was in site a quarter mile away.
Our exploratory dinghy expedition is dwarfed by the mountains.
Chris studying the physics of balance.
Dog Star likes to pose for portraits.
One last look at the face of the glacier before dodging our way back to the entrance of Ford's Terror in time for slack current.
Piloting requires great concentration.
Entering, we were again immediately greeted by waterfalls.
One of the best things about this anchorage is there is so much to explore!
Muscles and Limpets.
We explored until the evening fog rolled in.
