Glacier Bay Adventures aboard M.V. Steller
We took a 24 hour trip aboard the Steller with Captain Dan
and Andrea. In May, it stays light until about 11:30, then
light again at 4:00am. We saw a bear on the shoreline just
minutes from the dock, then saw about 50 seals feeding,
then the sea-lion haul-out, then Puffins, a hundred harbor
porpoise, then a bear and a mountain goat on the same
mountainside. We saw a mountain goat with a kid. We then
went further up into Glacier Bay, watched several glaciers
until near midnight without getting to see any calving. We
went to bed at midnight, then up at 4:00 am, and on to
whale territory. We saw several humpbacks very close to the
boat. Another awesome trip. Janet and I were the only
passengers on board.
