Rivers of Ice

While cruising in Alaskan waters, I discovered rivers of solid ice, sometimes thousands of feet thick! I call them “glaciers” and arranged for a helicopter ride at once for a closer examination.

I really should have been an arctic explorer. I think I rather look the part.
My mighty steed ready to carry me to the river of ice.
Glacial overboots. Very fashion-forward, everyone is wearing on the glacier.
The soles of the boots with the little metal studs that bite into the ice.
Glacial run-off. The intensity of the blue ice is incredible. It really is that bright blue, no photoshopping or anything!
The Heart of Alaska.
The river of ice meets the sea.

    Re: looking the paart of a glacial explorer. You don’t look cold enough. A picture of frost bitten toes, feet, or butt would add to the conviction of the image. Might you comply? And why is your nost not red? Is this a staged photo taken in a warmly lit studio in California?

      😂Certainly not sunny California! But, to be honest, it wasn’t particularly cold walk around on a giant ice cube.
