Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise - The 135 mile tour - |
| The two RV Gypsies experience a wild and dramatic Alaska in the calm, protected waters of Prince William Sound, with a Chugach National Forest Ranger narrating onboard - a special treat. The ship hugs the coastline, searching for sea otters, shorebirds, Steller Sea Lions, and whales as it weaves around icebergs, and pushes its way through bays with 1,700 foot high active tidewater glaciers, and some serious waves. | |

| Surprise Glacier the largest glacier on Prince William Sound |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Surprise Glacier is 1 mile wide and 275 feet high. These waters are the northernmost salt water in North America yet surprisingly they never freeze. Surprising too, is the fact that there are actually 100,000 glaciers in Alaska yet only just over ¼ of them have names. One glacier in Alaska, the Malaspina Glacier in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, is larger than Rhode Island. That's one enormous piece of ice! | |
