South Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm Fjord, seen via day cruise from Juneau, Alaska, USA.

South Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm Fjord, in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in the Alaska Panhandle, seen via day cruise from Juneau, Alaska, USA. We highly recommend the smoothly stabilized day cruise aboard the 56-foot boat Adventure Bound. This journey to the heart of Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness (Tongass National Forest) rivals Norwegian fjords and adds a punchbowl of icebergs from the spectacular South Sawyer Glacier, which calved ice into the tidewater with a rumble and a splash. Whales, bears, sea lions and other wildlife showed up along the way. The fjord twists narrowly 30 miles into the coastal mountains, with peaks jutting up to a mile high, draped with tumbling waterfalls.
