Tracy Arm

Posted on 22:51 by Unknown
Tracy Arm might be the coolest place I have ever been! It's a Fjord in Alaska named after the Civil War General,  Benjamin Franklin Tracy. As we started getting close to the fjord, we started seeing icebergs in the water. They were BLUE, very BLUE. We were told that they are so blue because of the density of the ice. Everyone was out looking at the site. We were on the back deck with many of the people from our group. It made for great pictures! Here are a few that we took:

We also saw a lot of cool things in nature, including waterfalls... and Bald Eagles. Can you spot the Eagle in this first shot:



I have so many pics of this place, but will stop here. If you ever get the chance to go to Tracy Arm in Alaska, DO IT!!!


More to come,
Ryan
