Icy Strait Point, Alaska ( 2 )


Deep blue sea



Taking a stroll on the beach trail



Wild plant



It is sometimes possible to catch
a glimpse of the humpbacks

from the shore of the village




Looking out to the sea
from the jungle at the back of the village



Back of the village
which adjoins the forest



Guests of the Serenade of the seas
were transferred back to the ship

in batches




Bear is well loved by the local natives



Platforms on stilts stretching
out to the sea




Ready to get back on board
after the visit of Icy Strait Point



The chopping stage in
the canning process
of salmon



Samples of salmon in the cannery museum



Shops inside the Hoonah
packing company building




Display of a old sewing machine used by
the Hoonah
tribe
in the cannery museum




The most popular location
in this Alaskan village



Live Alaskan crabs



A tray of Alaskan crabs like this
cost twenty US dollars




Yummy................



Busy savouring the crabs



The crab station was doing brisk business.
Tourists who came ashore invariably

ended up at one of these tables

with a paper tray of crabs
