Walking on the Juneau Glacier

Just got back from Vancouver and Alaska and will be posting some photos and videos each day of the highlights. Starting today is a walk on the Juneau Glacier which is just outside of Skagway, Alaska. Some Glaciers look blue because of oxygen trapped in the ice. This one doesn't show much blue because it's covered in rocks and debris. You felt like you were walking on the Moon.



We got to the glacier by helicopter.




This particular glacier was covered with rocks and debris.






There were cracks formed in the glacier and melted ice formed streams the flowed into the crevices that could be 100 feet deep forming small waterfalls.
