Exceptional weather and wildlife in and around the waters of Tracy Arm today. Deep within this twenty-two mile long fjord we launched our Zodiacs to tour among the icebergs, which were calving off the South Sawyer Glacier at a phenomenal rate. Harbor seals swam around us or basked in the sunshine on smaller ice floes and we watched a mother mountain goat keeping a close eye on her kid, as it climbed the walls high above us. Later we encountered a group of killer whales and a lone humpback, very unusual in the waters of the fjord.
