Today we took the Kenai Fjords Tours “National Park Tour”
Captain Chris was our leader aboard the Tanaina. She is a vessel that can carry about 150 but today there were less than half that number aboard so it was easy to get photos of the amazing sights and creatures we saw.
Captain Chris had some amazing abilities. He was able to tell us just when to get our cameras ready when the glacier ¼ mile away was about to calve breaking away a piece of ice twice the size of our boat. He was able to tell us when to get our cameras ready because a humpback whale was about to breach. His knowledge and his enthusiasm for his National Park were infectious.
SEWARD TO HOMER

Another long day on the road was preceded by a fascinating visit to the Alaska Science and Learning Center, a facility in Seward dedicated to understanding and protecting the marine life of the Gulf of Alaska.
