Later in the week, I visited the town of Seward.
This is the downtown area. |
Seward has a very nice Alaska SeaLife Center, where I spent
most of the day. |

On the way from Seward back to Anchorage, I stopped here at
Exit Glacier. |
Exit Glacier. I got to walk up and touch the glacier near the terminus. Although it looks like snow,
the glacier is actually made of granulated ice. |

The terminus of Exit Glacier. This is a piedmont glacier, so its terminus is on land. Note the stream
of meltwater coming from beneath the glacier. |
