Kenai Fjords

Our Kenai Fjords cruise was on the Aialik Voyager a beautiful one year old twin hulled boat that road smoothly through the waves.

On the way out of the harbor we got a good look at the town of Seward with the mountains in the background and all the RVs parked on the waterfront.

On the way to the glaciers we viewed the wildlife of the area.  Specifically, birds and more birds. The most interesting to me were the Puffins.  They are cliff dwelling birds with little wings which they use to propel themselves under water.  They also have some difficulty taking flight after a good meal.

The other scenery along the way was also very interesting especially features such as Window Rock.

On our way to the Aialik Glacier we passed Pederson Glacier which along with the Aialik Glacer is part of the Harding Ice Field.

We finished our Salmon dinner whilst watching Aialik Glacier calve and a Orca Whale searching for his/her supper.  I got a shot of the glacier calving but missed getting a good shot of the Orca.

We also saw a number of Bald Eagles who are quite common in the area.

We were back in Seward shortly after nine PM and after a dessert ice cream cone we headed back to the Winnebago eager to hit the sack after another great Alaska day.
