Glacier Bay Cruise: Day 4 |
The fourth day we stopped in Dundas Bay. In the morning, we
we kayaked near a grizzly walking along the shore. In the
afternoon, we took a Zodiac to the beach and hiked to a steep
muskeg. After dinner, we saw lots of humpback whales from our
ship. We caught three breeching whales (and missed one because
we were looking the other way).

Here's our boat anchored in Dundas Bay.

We watched this grizzly walk along the shore from our kayaks.

This is how we got back on to the ship from our kayaks -- the
deckhands grabbed the front of the kayak and pulled, then we
stepped out on to the floating dock.

We hiked to this muskeg (an area of poor drainage with lots
of standing water and stunted trees).

We picked up this starfish during our walk on the rocky beach.

We stopped on our way out of Dundas Bay to watch this black bear.

These flukes belong to a humpback whale.
