"Lamplugh Glacier is an 8-mile-long (13 km) glacier located in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in the U.S. state of Alaska. It leads north to its 1961 terminus in Johns Hopkins Inlet, 1.4 miles (2.3 km) west of Ptarmigan Creek and 76 miles (122 km) northwest of Hoonah. The glacier was named by Lawrence Martin of the U.S. Geological Survey around 1912 for English geologist George William Lamplugh (1859–1926), who visited Glacier Bay in 1884." Wiki
 

Surfing Alaska's Bore Tide
by Allen Castillo, on Flickr

Alaska’s famous Bore Tides usually occur in a lower arm of Cook Inlet called Turnagain Arm located southeast of Anchorage. Wavefronts (from 6 - 10 feet tall and moving 10 - 15 mph) are formed when the incoming high tide collides with the outgoing downstream flow in the narrow inlet. Adventurous souls venture out to the mudflats to ride the waves.
This was taken from a moving train - the Denali Express - traveling from Whittier to Denali National park.
