Since the weather looked great, we booked a boat tour down to Columbia Glacier.
Our catamaran cruise vessel
The mountain sides along our tour route were filled with waterfalls.
Eroding cliff face
Prince William Sound scenery
We cruised past a popular Stellar Sea Lion haul-out area.
Horned Puffines
Bald Eagle
We start nearing Columbia Glacier.
Lots of glacier calved icebergs in the bay
As Columbia Glacier has retreated, it now has separate arms still reaching the bay.
The west arm
The wider east arm
Splash from ice calving from the glacier front
After leaving the glacier we came upon a large iceberg with several sea otters hauled out on the ice.
They did not like our presence and quickly departed.
We also came upon a small pod of transient killer whales (orcas).
