Snow Goose Alaska
Share
The Snow Goose was the last boat designed by famed naval architect Ed Monk Sr. She has spent her life doing what she was designed to do: explore the waters of Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington. Since her christening in 1973, she has been a private yacht, a research vessel, an oil spill response vessel (Exxon-Valdez), a marine education school, and a small eco-tour ship. After my first trip

📍Glacier Bay, August 2023
Here's a sneak peek of our incredible trip with the Sierra Club around Glacier Bay. Now in Sitka, Alaska, we have a brief moment with service and a few extra 💤 💤 😴 before preparing for our next trip. More photos and videos are on the way.

The colorful world beneath the iceberg's surface... 🌈
Did you know the coloration of icebergs depends on the ice's density and the air bubbles' presence? Yep! Blue icebergs, for example, tend to have compacted ice that absorbs colors in the visible light spectrum, giving them their unique blue hue. 🤯
This phenomenon can create stunning and picturesque scenes (which our photographers LOVE), especially when sunlight filters through the ice, highlighting the different colors and textures.
