We had a decent day to set out from Valdez on Stan Stephen's Glacier and Wildlife Cruise, unfortunately, due to the amount of ice in the water, we were not able to get close to Columbia Glacier. We did, however, see lots of wildlife: sea otters, harbor seals, stellar sea lions, dall's porpoises, and a humpback whale; we also saw lots of birds: kittiwakes, horned puffins, tufted puffins, cormorants and jaegers.
