This View of the Nellie Juan Lagoon from Shore. Sea otters and seals were popping up their heads to take a peak at us as we walked along the shore looking at the stranded icebergs.

There were many waterfalls including this striking one running over stair cut granite.

Often the falls would run through the trees, sometimes disappearing into the gravel at the base of the falls, only to run under the rocks to rush into the lagoon.

There many icebergs and they, like clouds, have a way of getting the imagination going. This one reminded me of an Indonesian hand puppet.

I liked our little Iceberg puppet so much I snapped another picture from further back. You can see how the rocks are well worn and rounded by the glaciers.

I dubbed this one the "whaleberg" although for you, it can be whatever you want it to be. I liked it because of the rich blue color.

This was the mushroom berg for obvious reasons.

The evergreens grew dramatically out of the rock and moss. You can see how the rocks are scrubbed smooth by the glaciers .

This is the Nellie Juan Glacier from afar. You can see how it rolls down off of the mountainous ice fields and slowly descends into the sea.

This is a closer view of the Nellie Juan Glacier.

While we were there, there was a huge chunk of ice that broke off of the Nellie Juan Glacier. You can see it here collapsing into the sea. They call this process calving.

Well okay, and we couldn't resist posing with a few of the icebergs on shore. You can see the lagoon where the otters were watching us. I gave this iceberg a double thumbs up.

There was a lot of wildlife, considering how cold it must get there. Here is one of the sea otters floating lazily on his back but carefully keeping an eye on us .

Here are some harbor seals (my guess anyhow but let me know if they're something else like spotted seals...) resting on the ice. I really liked the patterns on the boulders in back of them.

This is an Oyster Catcher, still damp from the light drizzle. Whenever I moved, he ducked down into the seaweed. Whenever I stood still, he popped back up to walk around..

Not to be outdone, here are the passengers of the good ship discovery posing by the Nellie Juan glacier.
