  • Today we are at Glacier Bay National Park! Not only did we see some amazing glaciers up close, but we were boarded by park rangers who shared tons of information with us about the glaciers and how they were made.

    22:24 - GOOD NEWS! Antlers are shed every year! Those were probably found in the forests nearby just laying on the ground!

    The rock towers are called inukshuks. They have been used by Inuit as manmade land markers in northern Canada and Alaska for thousands of years. Because the Arctic Circle is dominated by tundra, there can be few natural landmarks and so these were used for navigation.

    Really enjoying this HAL series! I cruised to Alaska on the Disney Wonder a few years ago. Another small ship...I love them too! Sunny & tropical is fun, but Alaska is the best cruise vacation, maybe THE best vacation I've ever done. We had sunshine every day, but I don't think rain would have dampened (pun intended) the experience. We also got to experience some spectacular glacier calving. I can't wait to cruise to Alaska again and I think you have sold me on HAL. Keep enjoying the adventure, Michael!!

    You said it right Michael ! Just seeing what mother nature made is breathtaking! I hope I can experience this one day. It's wonderful!🎉💖

    Antlers are shed annually, then re-grown in time for next mating season. People pick up shed antlers and make them into stuff.
    Much taxidermy of deer heads uses "harvested" antlers to make the "rack" look as impressive and symmetrical as possible.

    The French toast and later the pea soup both looked DELICIOUS. There is such a remarkable calm on this ship. Seems like a wonderfully unique and special voyage.

    what fantastic views... love it... we visited a salmon processing plant on one of our cruise excursions, and witnessed the salmon swimming up stream directly into the plant. Thanks for sharing.

    Was on the Eurodam for the last week in September. We got lucky and the sun was out when we were at Glacier Bay. Had a great time and would definitely go again.

      Also, the stone piles you saw are inukshuks, they were used by the Inuit in the north as directional markers. An Inukshuk in the shape of a person signifies safety, hope and friendship

    Hi Michael I am enjoying your Alaska cruise.
    Question why are we not seeing Michelle?

  • @kpl-CA
    @kpl-CA Před rokem

    Wonderful video, thank you.
    You would also enjoy the Rockies further in - especially Banff & Lake Louise, or the Icefields.
    Or go north for a polar bear excursion - those are VERY cool and a very rare experience.
    There's also a luxury train from Vancouver to the Rockies that you would likely enjoy - amazing scenery, wildlife, history... If you're ever in Vancouver, Victoria or Seattle again.
    Glad to see you enjoying our part of the world.

    We loved our Alaska cruise this past Sept. We rode the ZipRider while in Icy Strait Point, a fun ride except it was too cloudy to see the mountains.

  • @jlizardi5013
    @jlizardi5013 Před rokem

    It was great! Re-living the experience with you. It surprised me that they didn't continue to see the John Hopkins glacier, which is very close to the Lamplugh glacier. That Icy Strait place is just a created tourist trap. Didn't know HAL was stopping there.

  • @baharaelena1990
    @baharaelena1990 Před rokem +2

    You got sooo close to the glacier - absolutely stunning! Looks freezing cold outside! What kind of jacket do you need for Alaska? Goose feather or something?

    • @The_Winter_Warlock
      @The_Winter_Warlock Před rokem +2

      I would assume you need some type of down jacket. Although synthetic down holds up (retains its warmth) better when wet compared to its natural counterpart. Then again it is mainly up to your itinerary, and what types of activities you plan on doing. When Alfredo and I went to Alaska several years ago we participated in a race similar to the Iditarod. We went with heavy down jackets and faux fur lined hats and gloves. But when in the larger cities a lighter jacket proved more than capable of keeping us toasty! One thing I can’t understate is bringing several good pairs of socks! As Lieutenant Dan said in the 1994 classic Forrest Gump “Try and keep your feet dry when we are out humpin. I want you boys to remember to change your socks whenever we stop.”. Very important in Alaska, soggy socks are a quick path to frostbite!

    Rewatching in prep for our May 4th cruise this year on the Eurodam to Alaska. We have an aft facing verandah. When you say that they are spending 15 minutes on each side of the ship for the glaciers, do they spend any time so the aft cabins have a good view and cut the engines so there is no wake? Trying to decide if we can stay in our cabin or if I'm going to have to run around the ship for good views/pics. 👍

  • @mortar235

    No worries, the antlers were likely shed by the deer.

    So is Michelle staying on the ship, or doing her own exploring? I figured the three of you would be enjoying everything together.
