Big glacier, little birds

Going back to the end of July and our trip to Alaska. On a day cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park, our furthest viewing spot after leaving Seward was the famous Holgate Glacier.

It is one of the smaller glaciers in Aialik Bay but certainly impressive. Viewing from afar it is tough to gauge the sheer size of it – the boat captain said the face is 300 feet high. However, if you look close at the second picture, you can see gulls flying around in front of it and they are very clearly dwarfed by the face.

There is really a lot to soak in as you look at these pics. The color, the details of the ice. Really neat to see!

Glacier blue with green and gray

There was just something about this little glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park that I absolutely loved. The brilliant blue of the ice and snow coupled with the green foliage to the left and the scoured, gray rock to the right and below looked beautiful.

Dubbed Little Holgate Glacier, it is just to the south of the more well-known and bigger Holgate Glacier. While the big guy was impressive and likely garnered more attention from my fellow tour participants, I found this smaller one and the scene around it more compelling.

One of these two pics is likely to be on my wall in my office in the very near future.
