Anchorage to Seward by train, July 22, 2016

While staying in Anchorage between the July and August 2016 SOWER projects we took a train trip to Seward.  We boarded the train around 6:30 a.m. and did not get back until around 10:30 p.m.  Incredible scenery and letting someone else do the driving!  The only way to go.  Clickety Clack down the track!

Turn Again Arm is the name of this
extension of Cook Inlet.

Tsunami Evacuation Routes are plentiful
in this region as it is in the Ring of Fire of
volcanoes and earthquake activity.

Glaciers are plentiful even in the Summer.

 Waterfalls are so beautiful as the glaciers

continue to melt all through the Summer.

More glaciers.

 Watching ourselves coming and going!

More glaciers.

Waterfalls start high and are running fast and furious. 

As glaciers break off icebergs

float for a long time as the temperature

of the water never gets above 50 degrees.

The berg is much larger below the waterline.

Dall sheep climb the steep

mountains and cliffs.

The end to a long day.  

This is the darkest it will be

even on a cloudy day.

Sun never sets in the summer.
