Alaskan Cruise Day 3 Juneau, AK

Arriving at Juneau was a beautiful sight from the balcony of our stateroom.

McCaulay Salmon Hatchery was our first stop in Juneau. McCaulay raises fish to be released into the wild. The video shows seals “having dinner” (our guide said) with an eagle looking on.

Eagles are seen so frequently in Alaska that two of our tour guides referred to them as “pigeons”.

Glacier Gardens, Juneau, AK
Glacier Gardens has a unique plant design. Dead trees are used to provide nutrients for other plant life. Glacier Gardens is a mix of human-inspired and natural growth. It was hard at times to tell where one began and the other ended.

This video, taken from Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, shows H2O moving at three different speeds; lake, waterfall, and glacier.

When I walked down to the lake for a closer look, I thought, “So this is what God does when you leave Him alone.” I felt like crying.
