Glacier Bay— John Hopkins Inlet
May 16, 2009, noon - 1 PM

We spent about an hour in the John Hopkins Inlet. We weren't able to go far into the inlet since there was still a number of icebergs. We went by a dying glacier and watched for calving on Lamplugh Glacier but didn't see any. We saw a bear on shore near the Visitor Center and whales off in the distance. Here is where we dropped off the rangers.

Glacier Bay runs northwest to south-east for about 105 km (65 miles) between two mountain ranges in Alaska. The explorer Captain George Vancouver found Icy Strait, at the south end of Glacier Bay, choked with ice in 1794.
