Sawyer Glacier in Juneau, AK
This happened on Aug 18, 2014 just as we pulled up in front of the glacier. Incredible video! The boat captain (who had been running this excursion for the past 15 years) said that he had never seen anything like it. It happened again to us on the same day (see Tracy Arm Glacier video)
South Sawyer Glacier -- Adventure Bound Alaska
While in Juneau during our 2015 Royal Caribbean Northbound Alaska Cruise we took a trip with Adventure Bound Alaska (adventureboundalaska.com). The trip took us about 45 miles south of Juneau to Tracy Arm, a classic fjord, and South Sawyer Glacier. The scenery was spectacular as it provided a
great combination of mountains, wildlife, waterfalls, icebergs and glaciers.

Sawyer Glacier Calving - Tracy Arm fjord, SE Alaska
Calving of the Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm fjord, SE Alaska. As seen from the deck of the Rhapsody of the Seas. The action really starts at 1:40 and there is a spectacular shooter at 4:04.

Ice collapsing at Sawyer Glacier. Sawyer Glacier is located in the Tracy Arm fjord, south of Juneau, Alaska.
Tracy Arm Fjord and Sawyer Glacier - Alaska's Inside Passage
Tracy Arm is a beautiful, 30-mile-long glacier-carved fjord that stretch inland from Holkham Bay along Stephens Passage, part of Alaska's Inside Passage, to North and South Sawyer Glaciers. Some cruise ships sail into Tracy Arm as part of their tours. Other visitors come down here on day trip excursions out of Juneau, 45 miles to the north.
The highlight is South Sawyer Glacier, especially on a sunny day when the sunlight really brings out the blue in the ice.
The Photos (in order)
A14A0616 - The fresh water of Tracy Arm, milky with fine stone powder from glacial run-off, meets the clear, more dense salt water of Holkham Bay, marking the start of Tracy Arm
A14A0671 - Sailing through Tracy Arm
A14A0682 - This side channel of the fjord leads to North Sawyer Glacier; my old 2003 map shows that channel filled with the glacier; but the glacier has retreated, leaving bare rock behind
A14A0688 - South Sawyer Glacier comes into view; larger ships like the one in the photo have to stop here; my smaller ship was able to sail past the island for a much closer look; a pair of kayakers had set up camp on that island
A14A0721 - Spectacular South Sawyer Glacier marks the end of Tracy Arm; in front of the glacier is a tour boat that came down from Juneau; the tour boat is about the size of a small two-story house; the face of the glacier is at least 10 stories tall
A14A0711 - There were a number of smaller chunks of ice breaking off the front of the glacier; then a large 10-story chunk slumped off the face of the glacier and into the sea; this is the before shot
A14A0712 - The left half of that large chunk of glacier in the middle is falling into Tracy Arm
A14A0713 - And that half is gone; all that is left is the splash
Mendenhall Glacier Juneau,Alaska
Mendenhall Glacier is a glacier about 12 miles (19 km) long located in Mendenhall Valley, about 12 miles (19 km) from downtown Juneau in the southeast area of the U.S. state of Alaska. The glacier and surrounding landscape is protected as the 5,815-acre Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area, a federally-designated unit of the Tongass National Forest.
Sawyer Glacier in the Tracy Arm Fjord
The Cruise Ship could not get in as far as it would have like due to a lot of ice in the Tracy Arm Fjord. I was discussing with the Captain of the excursion vessel I was on about the probability of seeing the glacier calve ice. He was saying that the North Sawyer Glacier was not known for much action when suddenly a chunk fell as in slow motion from center stage.
You must book an excursion to get this close to the actual glacier. Call me about your Alaskan adventure. 336-701-2738 email Edward.Dean@CruisePlanners.com or visit my site
Glacier Calving at Sawyer Glacier, Alaska
Took an Un-Cruise Adventure on the inland waterways of southern Alaska from Juneau to Ketchikan and stopped at Sawyer Glacier for a skiff ride. While sitting about a half mile away a large mass calved from the face of the glacier.

SOUTHEAST ALASKA MAGNIFICENT NORTHLAND 1950s TRAVELOGUE 56804
Produced by Joseph Yolo and narrated by Tom Bostic, Southeast Alaska: Our Magnificent Northland is a short film promoting Southeast Alaska. Despite the end of the gold rush era, Alaska still has a special allure to it. Unlike much of the rest of the state—and countries with a similar latitude—Southeast Alaska has a mild climate, tempered by a warm water current. Covering much of Southeast Alaska is the Tongass National Forest (02:31), home to millions of hemlock and spruce, totem poles, and abundant wildlife. Southeast Alaska’s principle towns are Skagway, Juneau, Sitka, Wrangell, and Ketchikan. Ketchikan (03:45) is the “salmon capital of the world.” Commercial fishing and fishing tourism dominate the region, thanks to large populations of salmon and Alaskan Black Cod (04:20). Pontoon planes (04:33) are a common mode of transportation: Alaska has seventy times the per-capita use of airplanes than the rest of the U.S. Juneau, Alaska’s capital, now has a modern airport to service airline jets (04:55), making travel to Southeast Alaska easier and more affordable. Another major attraction of Southeast Alaska is the totem poles (06:25) that dot the landscape. Residents and tourists alike enjoy all that Southeast Alaska has to offer, including Tongass National Forest (07:48), playing on sandy beaches (08:00), and dog-powered transportation (08:16). Mendenhall Glacier and Mendenhall Lake (08:33; 09:50) are not only major tourist attractions, but they also provide jobs to those willing to harvest the pure ice (08:54). North and South Sawyer Glaciers (09:19) at the end of Tracy Arm, producing tons of icebergs, are another highlight of the region. The glaciers are receding, and the receding Mendenhall glacier left an ancient fertile bed that is now used for agriculture (10:08). The U.S. Forest Service is developing the Tongass National Forest (10:34) so that it can help build and support Alaskan communities. Logging in Tongass National Forest (10:56) is a major industry, and portable mills (11:05) are brought in to saw spruce needed for packing cases, which are used to ship the thousands and thousands of pounds of frozen fish. Wildlife, like bears (12:42), also enjoy the region’s abundance of fish. A popular annual event is the Golden North Salmon Derby (13:10) in Juneau, held in July at Auke Bay and Tee Harbor. Sponsored by the Territorial Sportsmen, fishermen from all over come to the derby to fish the 3-day event. Requirements stipulate that there must be at least two people on each boat, and fishermen must bring salmon to the boat unaided. Participants head to the Tea Harbor weighing station (15:10) to compare catches. All catches become property of the Territorial Sportsmen, and the proceeds go to fund scholarships. Commercial fishing is the biggest industry, and it provides employment for 20,000 people each year (16:05). Traps are used in salmon passage ways to catch fish for canning in an operation called brailing. The protection of Alaskan salmon is critical in order to preserve this natural resource that is the backbone of Southeastern Alaska’s economy: commercial fishermen must release at least as many salmon as they catch.

Endicott Arm Fjord & Dawes Glacier Alaska Tour via Cruise Ship (4K)
We visited the Endicott Arm Fjord & the Dawes Glacier during our 2017 June Alaska cruise. We were supposed to go to the Tracy Arm Fjord and see the Sawyer Glacier instead, but there were still too much ice so the captain of our cruise ship made the decision to visit Endicott instead. It was super-scenic, serene and majestic with numerous water falls, ice chunks in the water plus snow-peaked mountains. The Dawes glacier at the end of the fjord was quite amazing itself, and we were able to capture it calving several times.
It is the beauty of nature such as this that makes Alaska cruises so special. Our cruise ship, the Holland America Amsterdam, actually passed by the Carnival Legend in the Endicott Arm- you can see our video of the encounter here:
