We stayed at Lowell Point, about 3 miles south of the tourist trap that is Seward. Wherever you stay, Resurrection Bay and the Harding icefield are fantastic. There is a lot of wildlife and many glaciers there for the seeing. We took a long day tour in a small boat out to Northwestern Fjord in the Kenai Fjords National Park.
This is a mom humpback whale and her calf. We saw 11 humpbacks during our cruise. We also saw (but failed to photograph) lots of wily Dall's porpoise.
(The tiny clownish looking thing in the right foreground is a puffin. They are ungainly in the air but awesome below the water)
Northwestern glacier.
There are a lot of very shy harbor seals hanging out on icebergs near the glacier. We couldn't get any better photo than this one.
Here's an "arty" (note the reflection) shot of two other glaciers in Northwestern Fjord.
We like the glaciers
