It was a beautiful sunny day starting in Rudyard Bay. Kayakers and paddleboarders explored the shoreline and we even got to see a coastal brown bear lumber out of the forest onto the beach. Next up we held the famed polar plunge with an impressive array of dives, bellyflops, and backflips into frigid Alaskan waters. Next, we picked up the anchor and headed through Owl Pass into the scenic God’s Hideaway of God’s Pocket in Misty Fjords National Monument. On Zodiac cruises, we explored a luscious salmon stream, nosed up to powerful waterfalls and were awed by towering granite cliffs above.

Endicott Arm
Dawes Glacier, located at the head of Endicott Arm in Southeast Alaska, is an active tidewater glacier in the remote Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness Area. Reaching the glacier requires a 30-mile journey through a narrow fjord lined with sheer rock walls rising over 3,000 feet. These cliffs are veined with waterfalls and often blanketed in mist. Throughout the fjord, remnants of the glacier float in the form of icebergs. The glacier feeds cold, silty meltwater into the fjord, giving the water a distinctive milky-green hue and supporting a rich marine food web. Harbor seals were hauled out on ice floes near the glacier. Gulls and Arctic terns were actively feeding, likely drawn by the small fish and plankton concentrated by the glacial outflow. The glacier calved several times, hurling large chunks of ice across the water’s surface, sending the birds fleeing. The sound of the ice hitting the water echoed off the steep rock walls that rise thousands of feet on either side.

Dawes Glacier in Endicott Arm
We could not have asked for a better way to end the expedition. Our last day was amazing! Visiting Dawes Glacier in Endicott Arm was a highlight with its crystal-blue ice and resting harbor seals floating by on the ice. In the evening, we even got to see a couple of humpback whales off the bow of the ship. We ended the day by watching images of the beautiful moments created on our expedition during the famed guest photo slideshow.
