If you have not yet put Alaska on your ‘must do’ list, fetch
a pen and update that list now.
This is the reason.
We entered Yakatak Bay at 12.30 pm today and sailed slowly
into the bay until we reached the Hubbard Glacier. The rain had cleared, and
sunlight reflected on the glassy seas. It was chilly...gloves, hat, leggings
under trousers, 2 pairs of socks....And I stood outside in the icy Alaskan sunshine
all afternoon mesmerised by the views. The Captain had manoeuvred the ship as
close as possible to the Hubbard Glacier.
Pieces of ice crackled on the surface like a bowl of Rice Krispies.
We felt so close to the cloudy mountain tips, I wanted to
reach out and touch them.
Save up your pennies and visit Alaska. You will not be
disappointed.
This trip is a "must do" on Malcolm's list, hopefully next year!
