We arrived at the Glacier Bay National Park. There was a small splash cause by falling ice chunk near the center of the photo. This is "The Margerie Glacier" (named after a famous French glacier scientist.) This glacier is located near the dead end of the park. Our ship was about a little over a mile away.

Our ship was about a little over 2 miles from the Margerie Glacier. The park ranger told us it's about 1 mile in length from end to end and about 250 feet tall. The park ranger also said the the water is about 900-1000 feet deep at this point.

Another view of the Margerie Glacier and saw another hunk of ice fallen into the water - cracking and the booming thunder like sounds following in split second. Our ship was about 1.5 miles away.

There were many small hunks of ice falling into the water and "boom" like a distance thunder sound

Sudden claps and boom - another lucky capture - one more fallen piece

A formal portrait of "The Margerie Glacier" - from the water line (base) to the top is about 250 feet tall (76.2 meters).

Floating chunks of ice - small and large silently stationed in the colorful cold water. Due to reflections of the glacier, the color appears greenish and bluish. PEACEFUL FEELINGS

This picture shows boiling-like activities surrounding the patterned glacial ice. If not cause by releasing the trapped gases within the malting ice below the water than it's a mystery to me. Color of the water looks cyan/emerald green/bluish?

This floating hunk of patterned ice has less boiling activities but the color of the sea water still look strange.

Hi bird! you are checking out my camera? We were told by the park rangers not to feed you food. You have to fan for yourself.

The many passengers on the other cruise ship also ready for a view of the glacier

We were at the Salmon Fish Buffet. Do you see the bear with the fish in the background? This photo was shot by a kind tourist with my camera.
