Alaska - Set 4 - Day 6 - Glaciers

There has been one thing that I have wanted
to see for years and that is a calving glacier.
I saw it on this trip and really enjoyed it.






















 The jagged points of the ice struck me quite forcefully
as I thought of the pressure behind this ice flow.









 The following are some of the calving sequences.
I thought that the pieces we saw fall were
pretty small but then I considered the distance 
that we were from the glacier and the size 
then became pretty awesome.












 Aialik Glacier, one mile wide.
