Tracy Arm FjordThe Sawyer Glaciers at the end of Tracy Arm may not be the most famous glaciers in Alaska, but many visitors find them to be the most dramatic. Framed by mountains on either side, the glaciers are often bathed in a light mist that amplifies the blue hue of the ice. The glaciers are home to black and brown bears, wolves, deer and moose. Look for seals and whales in the fjord's icy waters, and frequent bald eagle appearances overhead. Check out the fjord's many icebergs from close up as the ship maneuvers around them. The texture and color of the ice is quite different from the smooth stuff you put in drinks!
