The ship could only approach to within 5 miles from the glacier due to breeding Harbor Seals in the area this time of year. Still the view is impressive. At 1-mile wide and 250 feet tall, the long lens captures the bright blue ice at the center of the terminus.
Since we were so far out I still took time to watch the walls around us. I was struck by the beauty of the ancient granite cliffs. The big lens could not get all of them in the shot so I just got artsy.
The family seems to be enjoying the brisk air and gorgeous views. John Hopkins is in the right-hand background.
One more look before steaming off to the next location.
Next up: The Big Show that is Margerie Glacier.
