Sea Princess in Glacier Bay

I’m told that this is a rare incident and the first the tour director on the ship had ever witnessed, although she’d heard about it happening a couple of times previously. Two ships entering near the ‘S’ bend in Glacier Bay. Naturally I was there with my camera to record the passing of another ship so close to ours in this narrow passage. The ship is called the Sea Princess.

This sea lion’s home is in Glacier Bay, Alaska and it watched us (on the ship) warily before deciding to slip into the water.

We were told that witnessing this type of event is quite special and rare in many glaciers but in Glacier Bay it is apparently something that is seen on every cruise. Our ship turned 360 degrees for about 15 mins or so, so that every passenger could get a good view – and lots of photos!

Just one of the many hundreds of mountain/glacier views we saw on our trip. This is in Glacier Bay, Alaska
