Here we are in Tracy Arm, Alaska. Tracy Arm is a fjord where cliffs as tall as 4000 feet meet the water's edge and turquoise blue bergs float on top icy cold waters. We saw Sawyer glacier at the end of the fjord and watched patiently as it "calved," introducing more ice into the waters already full of ice chunks. Calving for glaciers is not what it is on the farms back home in Missouri. It's when large chunks of ice break off the glacier and fall into the water. The final picture shows a gourmet breakfast of poached eggs and toast our wonderful host Dan Neal made for us. He's been Russ' friend for many years. Russ taught Dan's son, Ryan, when he was teaching in Hoonah years ago.
