Iceberg!!!

Do you see the tiny black dot against the water? That is, they told us, a National Geographic ship taking pictures of the iceberg. They were smaller, so they could get closer.
My vague memory says that tiny dot is a ~300 person ship. So, perhaps this gives a visual of the HUGE size of the iceberg...
There was also a helicopter circling us. I have a picture somewhere of the iceberg, NG ship, and helicopter... It was this cruse ship's first trip to Alaska. And since the weather was so clear, they were taking the opportunity to take (we guessed) promo film of the location and us. As in, Come to Alaska and see Fantastic Views Like This!!! Given how rare our good weather was, this was clearly a lie in the making, but it was still kinda fun to watch.
