We made it to the glacier last week 8/23/05. There was a lot of ice burgs floating in the water but the captain went right through them. There was even campers on the island inside – they actually kayaked out there (crazy!) Lots of ice, cliffs and waterfalls. Wonderful to see and spectacular to watch it all while floating slowly by! It is Very Cold standing outside! I recommend to dress very warm (hubby wore a down jacket and was still a bit cold) wearing gloves and a hat if possible. Took about 200 pictures during the travel in and out. Saw lots of seals, a few bald eagles, and one side of the ship spotted a bear while leaving the fjord. We started in the fjord at 5am and reached the glacier around 8am – I really wasn’t watching my watch to closely.
