My friend skurfing on a Firewire Quadraflex behind a Glacier Bay 22

We saw this excursion boat near the face of Margerite Glacier in Glacier Bay, Alaska.

On the front of the tour boat, good view of the mountains!

Good job Ryan for capturing the glacier calving. The height of the glacier is about 250 feet, so the splash is at least a 100 feet high?

Near the glacier, the ship navigates layers of crushed ice and ice bergs.
