Glaciers

Jerry has been wanting to see this area for many years and he finally got a chance. Anna Lee toasted the event on our balcony. 

Although the terrain is most interesting,

the principal attraction is the glaciers.  Early in the morning, we cruised by two, the first, the smaller one, is only 1.5 km wide, just a baby.  Still it was impressive. 

   

The captain made sure that everyone saw the sights by turning the ship 360 degrees so everyone got a good view.

The second is 5 km wide and occupies most of the valley including the smaller glaciers that feed into it.  It was mentioned, however, that as big as these ice rivers are, they are the victims of climate change and have shrunk quite a bit over the last several years.  Still worth a look.

 A few smaller ones dotted the area.
