July 13, we booked a Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise on the Emerald Sea out of Whittier, AK. It's very cloudy, raining and cool. Not the perfect day for it but still nice. We had to cross a 2.5 mile "one way" Tunnel which is also shared by the train to get there.
Spotted shrimps that the boat captain trapped were brought on board to show passengers and will be eaten later by the crew. They measured 5-6 inches in length.

Chunk of ice broken off the glacier and retrieved from the water and placed on display for passengers to see.
The day finally cleared up a bit and we had a much better view. We were also able to see some sea otters playing and some harbor seals.
On our return we saw thousands of Black Legged Kitti-Wake (birds) nesting on the rock face.
