The Marjerie Glacier


Believe it or not, we were 6 miles away when I took this shot. The glacier is 2 miles wide. The scale on this is almost impossible to comprehend.
The brown section of the glacier on the left is the dirt it pealed off the mountain on its way by. In all, we sailed passed three glaciers in Glacier Bay National Park. We even saw this one calve (when a chunk of ice falls off the glacier's face into the water).
