This morning we visited Exit Glacier. You can drive to within a mile of it and then take a trail to an observation area very close to it. You could feel the cold air coming from the ice. Later, we took a 6-hour wildlife & glacier cruise. On this cruise we saw the above sea otters. They were part of a group floating way out from shore. We also saw many bird species, including Kittiwake, Puffin, Cormorant, and Murre. There were a number of sea lions on a rock .near an island where there were several hundred birds nesting. The glacier did not do a spectacular calving while we were there, but there were a few small ones. The glacier would crack like a rifle shot.
