Alaska - Day 4

Drive to Whittier, a small town (more like an outpost) on Prince William Sound. Most remarkable aspect of the drive - a 2.5 mile one way tunnel at the end where you drive along railroad tracks to get into town. Once in town, most of the activity are ferry tours to see glaciers, but also some locals fishing and boating out from the seaside.

Glacier tour took most of the day...saw seals, sea lions, a bald eagle, a lot of ice and several glaciers. Seafood chowder lunch was surprisingly good.

On the road out, spotted another moose. On the road back, another bald eagle. 

In the evening, watched the first half of Never Cry Wolf. Kids were engaged. I remember seeing this in the theater as a child. It's remarkable. From a filmmaking perspective I'm just thinking: how the hell did they do it. Werner Herzog has to like this film. It was made by Disney.
