Thanks. That was taken the first day when the sky had no character. I now regret not doing it again on the second morning when the light was awesome. That would have been a cool shot.

Nice shot Pathfinder. I have never seen a glacier, is the lower un-snow covered edge that blue? If so, very cool. North I should travel. :elkgrin:

Hi Brad,

Yes, the glaciers are actually that blue, or even bluer. I toned these down a bit, and the sky was quite overcast as well.

The older, deeper ice has had all the air squeezed out of it, and it gets very, very blue.

This is a single frame of a floating iceberg, and you can see how blue it is

Here is why you do not want to kayak close to a large glacier

Actually, the falling glacial ice is not the most dangerous iceberg. More dangerous are the bergs that calve 500 feet below the surface of the water, and then rocket to the surface of the water, and keep on going - you get no warning with them at all. The water in front of Dawe's is about 700 feet deep I believe.

If you click on the image it will display a slightly larger version. Not sure of the best way to show such a wide image?
