You can find this film called “Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience” on Film Baby HERE: http://www.filmbaby.com/films/4148 I highly recommend buying Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience.

Blue Ice
Alaska is awesome, isn't it? I just got back a few days ago and am now looking at everyone else's photos! I did an all day trip to Tracy Arm a few years back. I absolutely love the blue ice. Although I took tons of photos this recent trip, my best iceberg photos are from the trip a few years ago: http://eclypso.com/places/us/ak/ice/index.html There's a link if you want to see more blue ice. Like you I was on a small tour boat. Its really the way to go and get up close. I hope to go again someday and hope you do too! cat
