July 15 You pay your dues to get to the summit and view the glacier, more on the road elsewhere, but the view is incredible. I knew very little about glaciers but know they are hundreds of feet thick with a flow pattern or textures and crevices and beautiful blue, especially icey aqua blue, streaks. I was never interested in glaciers, but have decided they are pretty impressive. Photo 1 shows one frozen flow between the mountains with the crevice and photo 2 is the same view, but notice the deep crevice and blue colors. I hope the colors show up. Photo 3 is from the summit and shows the curve of the main body and thickness. Photo 4 is the same view from the summit but shows how high the elevation is with the clouds below the mountain tops. The last photo is from the summit and is the right flow with the heavy textures and crevices and change in colors. It was a most breathtaking and humbling sight.
These are powerful in their detail and the raw beauty of nature on its own terms. When you open them up full size, they don't even look real but I know they are. It's like the first time you fly over mountains and they look like a rumpled up blanket.
