Glaciers, bears and fish

From Meziadin Lake we had a day trip to Stewart, then across the border into Alaska again to visit the 'ghost' town of Hyder. Along the way we drove past Bear Glacier

saw a couple of large black bears

Then headed up the mountain to see Salmon Glacier

and this is a close up of the crevasses - amazing! 

Then to the Toe of the glacier - where it melts and trickles into a stream

On the way back, we stopped in at the Meziadin Fishway to see the salmon jumping. There were so many, at least one every second!

A fish ladder has been built at the edge of the river to help the salmon navigate their way upstream, as only 1% can actually clear the weir. 

And after all this hard work of swimming upstream to spawn, this is where they end up

Tomorrow we carry on our journey south where the weather is warmer
