  • Finding the Glacier

    We followed the little ice breadcrumbs

    Toward the glacier

    OK we paid a bus to drive us to the glacier

    image[11]

    But the bus driver was definitely navigating by ice breadcrumbs.

    image

    We found the glacier.

    image

    It was big.

    image

    It’s big when we’re not in front of it too.

    image

    There’s a narrow part over here that sometimes gets blocked with ice and makes the lake level rise.

    image

    But that hasn’t happened in a long time.

    image

    The glacier was very noisy.

    image

    It made a lot of creaking and cracking noises.

    image

    Lots of chunks fell off of it.

    image

    But we didn’t catch any on camera.

    image

    We did get the waves from a chunk that fell off the bottom and floated up to the top though.

    image

    It was also noisy.

    image

    The easiest thing to catch on camera was us.

    image

    We have a lot of glacier selfies.
