A Glacier, Up Close

Friday, 10/18. Boated to a tree-lined shore, with a glacier in the background. Awesome image. Walked along the shore into the bay(?) to the glacier. Though the guide said it was a “boring” glacier, his words were almost immediately drowned out by a large chuck of ice collapsing into the water. It happened two more times. We were able to walk to within maybe 200 yards of the wall. Stunning.

There was an afternoon zodiac cruise scheduled along a glacier, but it was raining with fog. I passed. In spite of this blip on the cruise radar, everyone says we are having an incredibly lucky cruise. I don’t doubt it. Tomorrow, penguins.
