We saw (according to the naturalist on board) the largest calving of the year in Glacier Bay. Best of all, I saw it through the viewfinder on my 5dmkII!

Sep 19, 2011 02:52 | #4 Thanks, guys. The cruise was awesome. Glacier Bay was great, but every day was one spectacular vista after another. I'm sorting through about 2,400 pictures that the wife and I took. I'm glad I wasn't still shooting film! "Everything will be alright. I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

It's always difficult to get the scale of the glaciers from a photo, but I can imagine that this was one big chunk of ice! Photography by Erin Babnik
