Day 2 We woke up bright and early on our second day to start our adventure.  We took a nice scenic drive from Peters Creek to Whittier through the mountains.  Boy, what a view!  Before we went into a mile-long, one way tunnel through a mountain, we got a glimpse of a beautiful frozen lake.

Dr. Jackson promised to stop on the way back, as we were getting late for our passage through the tunnel (as each direction only had a half-hour block to pass through).  When we arrived in Whittier, it was cold and rainy, but it did not dampen out spirits as we got some coffee and prepared for our 5 hour luxury glacier cruise.  We did not know what to expect on this cruise, but were soon amazed beyond our wildest dreams!  There was wildlife that we hadn’t seen before, and we were even lucky enough to see a killer whale!  We were told that was a very rare occurrence.  We also saw a few otters just “chilling” with the ice and many birds, including three or four bald eagles.  It was an unbelievable experience.  On top of all the wildlife, we saw three glaciers and even were lucky enough to see some calving!  That was an awesome sight!

No words to describe this . . . sorry!!!
