Tracy Arm Fjord and Sawyer Glacier

Tracy Arm Fjord
After leaving Juneau we cruised up the Tracy Arm Fjord, a narrow passage with 3,000 foot granite cliffs on each side. It's really amazing with icebergs everywhere. The fjord was formed by a glacier and you can really see the effect of the glacier on the granite.

Sawyer Glacier
At the end of the fjord is Sawyer Glacier.  Although there was too much ice for us to get very close we still had an amazing view.

We were lucky to see sea lions relaxing on one of the icebergs, this was one of the smaller icebergs, so you get an idea of how big the ice was.
