That's a Glacier, not Dirt


    We've left Ketchikan; next stop is Juneau.  We'll get there mid-morning, but if you get up early and are out on the deck at 7:00 AM, you have an opportunity to see a glacier.  Liz and Jason did; I stayed in bed.

    This picture, believe it or not, shows the glacier.  Of course, over the millennia, dirt has been deposited on it, and plantlife now grows on it.  But it does dump a few, small icebergs into the sea.

    I'm sure there are some spectacular glaciers up in Alaska proper.  But I'm kinda glad I slept thru this one.
