Mark I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed your video. You are such a good patient Dad and teach your boys so much, they are going to know how to do so many things that will help them as adults. I felt so sorry for all of you as you were so cold 🥶 in the freezing ride over and then the freezing rain ☔️ so glad you had a warm tent ⛺️ The scenery was breathtaking, the boys will never forget this special experience and the memories made with your family. Those glaciers, words can’t describe. Great video Mark really, really nice. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

This is Mark’s sister. Prince William sound has been such a special place to me since I started going there as a teen. I was thrilled to finally come up with a plan to take my kids there. A couple comments. The glaciers are on the order of 10,00 years old, but the actual ice is a couple hundred years old. The ice is constantly (slowly) moving through. Secondly, the glacial ice bergs are only 10% above water because they are so dense.

Hi. First off I love watching your family's adventures. I get excited like I'm there 😊. I have a question though. When the squid was biting, Bennett Mark's voice got kind of alarmed. Could it have caused permanent damage to him if they didn't get it off really fast?
