Glacier Bay National Park-Margerie Glacier B&W. Changed up the look with black and white with some selective color. Didn't want to loose the blue Ice.

Glacier Bay National Park- Upstream. CLose up of the upper portion of the glacier. The debris can be seen all though the glacier at all depths. This collection of debris, which contains microbial activity is useful to scientist giving them an insight into glacier dynamics, climate feedbacks, and the resilience of life in some of harshest habitats.

Glacier Bay National Park- Close Up. Due to the low clouds you can not see how far the glacier extends back or upstream. The face of the glacier is about 1 mile across and is 250 feet above sea level. Why do the glaciers look dirty? These dark or dirty streaks are called medial moraines. They are made up of rocks and debris that either accumulate on the surface or become embedded in the ice. Rock slides, soot from the enviornment, wind blown dust, and microbial activity. Not only does this debris affect the color of the glacier, it al accelerates the melting rate.

Glacier Bay National Park-Margerie Glacier.
350 feet high, 250 ft above water, 100 ft below. It is a tidewater glacier and is one of the few glaciers which has been growing. It has grown roughly 30 feet per year for the last few decades but has seen little growth recently. Maugerie is a tidewater glacier having the characteristic of a terminus (the face of the glacier) which encounters seawater at least at high tide. and six other glaciers in Glacier Bay have termini that are fully submerged at all tide levels.

Glacier Bay-Cruising to Glacier Bay. Early moring scene from the ship captured on the way to . Low clouds surrounding the mountains, cool morning breeze, a cup of hot coffee to chase the chill. Beautiful moring in Glacier Bay!

-Harbor Seals. A short disitance from the Hubbard Glacier, we spotted these lounging on the rocks. Some were curious but others were not disturbed by our passing. Even though it looks like we were really close to the shore, we were not. With the aid of my telephoto lens I was able to capture this image. After I captured this, I spent the remainder of our passing by time just watching the seal antics. The couple down by the shore line started to put on a little show for us,splashing around, barking at each other, just having some seal fun!

-Leaving the . After about and hour and half, we left the Glacier behind. Looking back at the we saw this lovely seascape with the dramatic cloud formation and colors. Had to snap a quick image of this peaceful scene,and I am so happy I did, it is one of my favorites.
We sailed on the tour boat for a little looking for some wildlife., before we headed back to the cruise ship.

-Blue Ice. The “blue ice” you see is not just surface snow — it’s dense, ancient glacial ice that has been compacted over hundreds of years.
As snow accumulates in the Saint Elias Mountains, it gradually turns into firn. What is firn? Firn is the intermediate stage between snow and glacial ice. It is old snow, snow that has survived a summer by not melting. As new snow falls on top of this old snow, it becomes packed together and recrystalized. As the weight of the new snow presses down on the old snow, it presses most of the air out from between the snowflakes, creating a porous substance, firn. Over many years, the immense pressure of all this snow, forces out the remaining trapped air bubblesin the firn, making the ice denser and more transparent forming the glacial ice. The Ice absorbs most wavelengths of light but only blue light is reflected back giving the glacial ice that strikingnblue color . The older and denser the ice, the deeper and more vivid the blue . Some of ’s ice is over 400 years old.

-Glacier Calving. is when a chunk of ice breaks off , falling in the sea below. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler or a bergy bit. An iceberg is a large chunk of ice that has broken off with only 10% of it's total mass visiable, the remainder is submerged. A growler is floating ice which is less than 1-5m above sea level making it very dangerous for small vessels. The bergy bit is considered medium size 5-15m, slightly more visiable than a growler.. still a haszard to small vessels. An that has calved from a glacier can also produce the growler and bergy bit.. They are all made of freshwater ice.
When a glacier is going to calve, it is preceded by a large craking sound and can cause hazardous waves when it crashes into the sea.

-The . The largest Tidewater glacier in North America. So how did this Glacier form? It started thousands of years ago when the area in the St. Elias Mountains experienced very large amounts of snow. The amount and rate of accumulation was faster than the snow could melt. Over the next thousand years this heavy snow compressed into dense ice, forming the foundation of the glacier. Again, this started thousands of years ago. The geography and climate of the region allowed this glacier to grow and move towards the sea. The face of this glacier is 400feet above sea level. There is still 300 feet below the water. That is 700 ft of ice. Scientist have compared this wall of ice to a 60 + foot skyscraper that stretches longer than the Golden Gate bridge just to put it in perspective. Truly amazing!
