Since the weather forecast was promising a nice sunny day, we booked one of the boat tours to view some of the glaciers within Kenai Fjords National Park.

One of the many waterfalls seen during the trip
Bear Glacier, which is no longer a tidewater glacier
Some of the scenery we passed
Holgate Glacier
(for scale, find both boats in the picture!)
These glacier seracs can be as tall as multi-story buildings.
Nearby hanging glaciers
All of the glaciers in Kenai Fjords National Park are fed by the massive Harding Ice Field.
