A big chunk of ice calving off of the Upper Sawyer Glacier. Glaciers are a constantly-moving and evolving thing. New snow is packed on at the upper end, and then as it reaches the water, the leading edge eventually cracks and breaks off, or "calves".]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 13 May 2016 12:22:37 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18940 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18940
This pano was shot from the balcony of our cabin on the cruise ship just before we departed. Everywhere we looked on this cruise was beauty.]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 13 May 2016 08:51:38 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18935 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18935
The Red Dog was founded during the first mining rush to Juneau, and is now the oldest man-made tourist attraction in the region.]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 13 May 2016 12:22:37 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18933 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18933

A pod of humpbacks will swim near the surface with their mouths open, helping to drive krill towards each other. This pod was about 40 feet from our boat.]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 13 May 2016 12:14:10 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18929 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18929 ]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 13 May 2016 12:14:10 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18927 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18927
The whales in Alaska don't breach very often. They spend most of their time eating as much as possible to store up energy for the long trip down to Hawaii where they will give birth and spend the winter. ]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 13 May 2016 12:14:10 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18925 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18925

After the glacier trip, we went into Juneau and went out on a whale-watching trip. We got lucky again - our guide said that usually that time of year, they're lucky to see two or three whales. We saw roughly 20, and a number of them got within 30 feet of our boat.]]> Paul Braun photo Fri, 13 May 2016 12:14:10 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18921 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18921
