Inside Passage, Alaska(2019)
Index
Alaska & Spokane, WA
Aug-Sept 2019
Sunrise while sailing the Inside Passage
Fog obscured our view for awhile
The fog lifted in time for us to see the many islands, glaciers and snow on the mountaintops
During high tide many smaller islands are submerged and a hazard to navigation
This island is inhabited. We can see houses and boats
There is a glacier along the shore in the distance

This dramatic scene

is of a glacier calving

in the Inside Passage


We were not able to sail close enough

to see this happen in real time

The photo at left is from

a postcard we purchased
