Juneau

Friday May 22, 2009

Juneau is the capitol of Alaska and is the largest capitol in the USA by land size (3,248 square miles). There are no roads in our out of Juneau, it's only accessible by ship, plane or birth canal :)

The most visited Glacier in the world and quickly shrinking is here, the Mendenhall. I was impressed with the amount of decent sized icebergs in the lake nearby.




The Macaulay Salmon Hatchery was very interesting with a 5,000 gallon salt water aquarium filled with colorful and unique fish. Some aquatic can be touched and that is my specialty. Like this sea cucumber, he looks sharp but actually felt like jello. The star shaped one was soft as well.


















On to the Mount Roberts Tramway and the view of our ship down below.
