About this image:
Hoonah Tlingit Carvings are interesting carvings that
have been carved directly into the living spruce tree bark.
There were four clans of Hoonah Tlingit native people that
traditionally inhabited much of the areas around as well as
throughout what is now Glacier Bay Park. The Hoonah Tlingit
bear a spiritual connection to the lands around Glacier Bay
and still carry on many of their traditional activities in
and around the Park. There are many examples of these
carvings located in the are of Glacier Bay near the Glacier
Bay Lodge. This one was located not far from the Glacier Bay
National Park Service Visitors Center in Bartlett Cove.

Bay National Park (Fall 2008) |

About this image:
With their playful antics, Sea Otters are fun animals to
watch. Sea Otters, practically live in the water and carry
on with most of their daily routines floating on their
backs. We've seen them grooming, eating, playing, carring
for their young as well as leisurely paddling by on their
backs. They do not have a layer of fat to keep them warm in
the cold waters, but instead have evolved to have incredibly
dense fur, up to 1 million hairs per square inch. These Sea
Otters can reach up to 60" / 150 cm in length and are as at
home and graceful as a fish in the water. They are very
curious and always throw looks at The Mad Dogs to try and
figure us out. |

About this image:
This sunset was in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska.
We're not sure if it's the beauty of Alaska, the fact that
we are quite far North, or if it's just us, but the sunsets
seem to be spectacular. While this one didn't produce any
red skies, the glimmering on the water and silhouetting of
the mountains made a nice photo. |

About this image:
A view of a snow capped peak as was visible from Blue
Mouse Cove (with all the snow we can understand why the
mouse may have been blue...) in Glacier Bay Park, Alaska.
Much of the glacier ice visible from this vantage point is
supplied by the Brady Icefield. This ice field feeds many of
the other Glaciers on this side of the park including
Lamplugh Glacier, Reid Glacier and Brady Glacier (located
outside of Glacier Bay). This photo was taken mid-July and
it looks like the snow and ice will be on this mountain for
many years to come. |

About this image:
That's our resident fisherman Dean posing with tonight's
dinner, a nice little halibut. This halibut was caught in
Blue Mouse Cove, Alaska, while breaking all the fishing
rules. Although we've had lots of advice as to how to catch
halibut, this one was caught using the wrong pole, the wrong
lure without bait and at the wrong depth! If breaking the
rules brings these results - let's keep breaking them. Mmmmm,
time for dinner! |

About this image:
For you sunset fans, here's another. Many of the days
were a little cloudy and even on the clear days most
sunsets went down without notice, however sometimes the
breathtaking beauty of the color of these sunsets is
just incredible. The photos capture a small portion of
these sunsets, but just imagine this same image spread
out to fill your entire vision. WOW! |
