Greg's birthday present, we got to finally walk on a glacier!!! It is hard to comprehend the power of the glaciers, the vast amounts of rock and boulders that are trapped inside the ice as it moves across the ground. Greg and I were both in awe and the huge piles of gravel that are left behind as the glacier melts. It's hard to imagine the glacial ice was thick enough and contained enough rock to leave a 40 foot pile of gravel behind as it melts.

The Glacier from a distance...

The same glacier a few hundred feet way...

An ice whole in the glacier, we could not see the bottom... On the way out of the park area someone told us a story about a boyscout was lost in a similar glacier hole. The rescue team fished a fiber optic camera 300 feet into the ice and never saw a sign of the boy... whoops let's avoid those deep holes.

The deep blue color at the rim of the ice hole... the deep blue color indicated the ice is very compact/dense and blue light is the only color it can reflect.

Another modeling shot with a much larger perspective of the glacier.

Ice for as far as the eye can see... from a distance the glaciers look so soft an smooth. Up close the textures are amazing jagged, yet hard like a rock. I tried to break a piece off to take home, you aren't going to do that with your bare hands!!!
