Creator's Key Takeaways

we just spent the past 2 hours outside on on Deck uh watching the the margerie glacier and we saw sea otters and you saw what a short eared owl a shorted owl that was pretty cool that was pretty cool

I caught uh some cing going went on that actually uh continued for almost a minute um it wasn't continuous dropping but that same area of the glacier kept breaking off chunks and dropping them

distances and Heights and perspective is completely distorted here because you just don't have anything to to reference it by you know

I really enjoyed it we got to see lots of Wildlife and met some nice people and I had the Pea Soup the traditional pea soup

YouTube Video Description

Join us on an awe-inspiring journey through Glacier Bay National Park aboard Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam! This day was dedicated to soaking in the mesmerizing landscapes and wildlife of one of Alaska’s most iconic destinations. We spent hours on deck filming the breathtaking scenery, from towering glaciers to playful wildlife. Our highlight was capturing a spectacular calving event at Margerie Glacier after patiently waiting for nearly two hours. You won’t want to miss this incredible footage! Continuing our adventure, we cruised through Johns Hopkins Inlet, passing by Lamplugh, Johns Hopkins, and Reid Glaciers, each more impressive than the last. Back onboard, we indulged in a sweet treat at the popular Chocolate Party, where the staff delighted us with a variety of unique chocolate creations.
