Notions of a Texas Ranch Girl

Our walk to the glacier

Posted in Life in Alaska

We walked out on the frozen lake this past weekend right up to the glacier (well, pretty close).  For safety reasons you really shouldn't get real close because a glacier can calve at any time and it would break the ice, etc. etc.   It was a very nice day.   The boys and I had done this last winter, but this was the first time Nathan had walked up by it.  Very unique experience.   Here's a few pics:

Walking out to the glacier:

 

Nathan and boys by the glacier:

And the walk back (I don't know for sure but it's probably a good mile each way across the lake):

 

This last pic gives the best perspective, because you can see how small the people are by the glacier.  The 2nd photo is deceiving, because you only see the part jutting out, and can't see the mountain of glacier up and behind.

It is gorgeous but it looks so cold. Hope you don't have to wait too long for spring!

By the way I finally got back to my blog - at least for one entry. But no promises!
