[VICAR OF DIBLEY]

When we have been to Alaska, the cruise portion, we wore very warm clothing viewing the glaciers. Remember if you are surrounded by the glaciers, you are in the middle of a very cold area - we needed warm clothing, especially when the boat is moving.

When we got to the glacier area we viewed the glacier from as many different decks where we had access to an outside view. This gives you a different perspective of the same glacier.

Since you are going in August remember the days are going to get shorter faster. I have heard, though have not seen, that the early fall colors are spectacular.

Have a wonderful time. One of these years I would like to go to Alaska in the fall.
