I was really looking forward to seeing glaciers. And we were not disappointed, although the inclement weather kept us from getting the full experience. We arrived at Glacier Lagoon just as the fog lifted temporarily. The blue ice was so lovely! The black streaks are lava sand that comes with the ice. We were able to spend just under an hour taking it all in and then, once more, it started really raining. But at least we got the thirty minutes of amazement!
Random ice floating around
Beautiful ice chunk
The background should be a glacier but all we saw was fog
Love this one. Looks like a white mama with a grey and black children
Now do you see it? 😁😁😁
Varieties of blue
Ice rabbit
Ice sculptures
a model boat?
Crystal clear ice
Ice chunks on lava beach.
The temperature was not freezing but the ice stayed frozen.
They told us to look for seals. We saw one.
Then we saw three. barely.
We did have some blue sky to be able to see some parts of the glacier
Majestic!
Most glaciers we saw were not blue and lovely but rather had the black lava mixed in
Looks dirty but it's just the lava sand leftover when the glacier melts
This glacier also had some hunks of ice floating at the base
This photo clearly shows the flow of a glacier..and the recession.
This whole valley used to be filled, but not anymore.
An eruption and subsequent melt of parts of the glacier ripped this bridge to pieces.
They left a bit there so people could see the force of nature
A little Photo-shopping makes it look prettier :)
