The Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve

When we shared this post with you about our visit to the Margerie Glacier, we were giving you a far off glimpse of the entire terminus of the glacier.  Here’s a wonderful photograph we captured up close and personal with the Margerie Glacier.

To give you some scale, you’re looking at a small section of the glacier here.  This puppy is over a mile wide with roughly 25 stories of height extending above the water.  You can appreciate the scale a little bit if you take a peek at the seagulls (looking very minute) flying around in the ice cave in the bottom right.

On this journey, we were sailing with Crystal Cruises, which we absolutely loved.  To read more about our Crystal Cruises experience, click here.

Listen, if you haven’t sailed Alaska’s Inside Passage, you simply must.  We promise, it will be an unforgettable experience.
