To Juneau

After passing Petersburg, the boat entered Frederick Sound, a much wider waterway and then turned north into Stephans Passage heading to Juneau.

Along Stephans Passage

Somewhere near Midway Point on Stephans Passage.

Along Stephans Passage

Our first glacier. OK, it's some distance away, but beggars can't be choosers! This is the Sumdum Glacier (I think it's on the left of the humped island on the left).

Entrance to southern end of Gastineau Channel

A rain shower in the sun. This is located at the southern end of the Gastineau Channel, the waterway on which Juneau is located. The spit of land on the right is the southern end of Douglas Island, with Stephans Passage continuing through the rain shower, while we branched off into the Gastineau Channel for Juneau.

Along Gastineau Channel, south of Juneau

A snow covered peak as we approach Juneau.

Ah, Juneau in the distance! It's slightly left of centre, just above the water. The snowy peak on the right is Mt. Roberts, while the peak behind is Mt. Juneau.
