We were meant to be sailing up Tracy Arm fjord, but the previous day there had been a major ice calving at the Sawyer Glacier, at the end of the fjord, and this had resulted in significant amounts of ice, virtually blocking safe passage. So, instead, the Disney Wonder received permission (rarely granted for very large ships) to sail up Endicott Arm where would see the equally spectacular Dawes Glacier. As we had previously visited Tracy Arm, being able to see something new (and a rare opportunity at that) was pretty cool :-)

The Wendover arm of the Grand Union Canal, photographed here at Aston Clinton. Here the canal passes under the bottom of Tring Hill, Aston Clinton.
The Wendover Arm Trust are in the process of restoring the canal to a navigable state where a large section of the canal developed leaks and was piped under ground.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- When engineers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory brainstormed on how to improve Soldier lethality, the idea of a third arm seemed like something that might help.
Mechanical engineer Dan Baechle carefully planned out a device that doesn't need batteries, is lightweight and can evenly distribute the load of a heavy weapon.
"It can help stabilize the weapon and take the load off of their arms," he said. "It's made from composite materials to make it as light as possible, but also to ensure the range of motion that Soldiers need."

We did a tour boat out of Juneau to Tracy Arm. It is one of my favorite fjords in Alaska, it is very tight and narrows to a few hundred yards with 4000ft cliffs on each side.
This is the entrance to Tracy Arm from Holkam Bay. The ice berg is grounded on the moraine where the glacier once stood.

This is close to Heygates Mill. This seems to be the remains of a side arm which heads SE towards the B488 and seems to join up with river that runs past Silkmill Way and down Brook Street. I wonder if it was a feeder into the Wendover Arm, which was always short of water!
My arm is strange, no doubt about it. And it bends at unnatural angles. My elbow is actually the crescent you see there -- and then it falls downward.
