| Endicott Arm, Alaska. Nearly forty miles up-fiord from this spot, the Dawes Glacier dumps huge blocks of ice into the upper reaches of Endicott Arm Fiord in southeast Alaska. These often bald eagle-adorned bergs slowly drift up and down the fiord on each tidal surge as they slowly make their way to the open ocean. John Muir described this area as a Yosemite filled with water as granite cliffs rise straight out of the icy water thousands of feet into the sky. Bowhead whales patrol the depths throughout this region at the northern end of their long migration north from the Sea of Cortez. |
