Icy Reception
It’s easy to forget it’s mid-July when you are standing on the shore of a glacial lake… and when a handknit wool hat is necessary weather gear.
Glacier –> ice calf/iceberg –> ice cube –> ice toy
L-shaped (for Lolly!) ice – holding an ancient artifact in my hand before it melts!
When we arrived in Juneau on Friday afternoon, we started making plans for the weekend. Dad had off work and we wanted to see some sites and enjoy the days with him. He had already checked out Mendenhall Glacier – the large glacier just north of Juneau – but I think it’s one of those things you just don’t get tired of… so, we did it again!
That blue ice is the real deal! It’s stunning!
We hiked around the glacial lake to the area where the water fall comes right next to the glacier.
If you are following along with my Twitter feed (you don’t have to be a member to see them – just click on the link!) you are getting real-time updates about what we are doing and seeing. I am also trying to stay “on top of” all of the photographs we are taking – so, you can view my Flickr photos of the daily activities. If you are enjoying this, please let me know!
See you again soon!
