Glacier Boat Trip

On our last day in Anchorage, we went to Whittier and boarded a boat to tour Prince William Sound and the glaciers. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Waiting to board the Kenai Star


One of the several glaciers in Prince William Sound


This glacier had ice breaking off into the water (calving)


It was cold!


There were so many waterfalls!


See that A frame tunnel?

The trains and cars use the same tunnel! 
There is only one way in and one way out of Whittier, the very small town where we boarded the boat. This tunnel goes through the mountain and is used by both cars and trains. We waited in line until the train passed through, then we were given a green light to go.
