Way too big to get in one picture :P





This glacier used to be connected to Columbia













GLACIERS EVERYWHERE



That big blank spot on the mountain was how high the ice used to be



Epic!





Sitting up there was awesome! We totally had the best view ;) (My knees got bruised from kneeling though haha)

We are now a quarter of a mile from the ice! SO EXCITING

Epic calving!!!

It was so loud!! It also made a big wave haha



More (little) calving

Wall of iceeee



Wow! I bet that was a great flight!

A sea otter on an iceberg. There were a bunch more, but they dove into the water when they saw us. They HATE being seen out of water (they feel vulnerable) but that one didn't even care haha



Salmon stream





Icebergs from Valdez Glacier (the glacier you can see in the mountains is a different glacier)



The glacier is behind there somewhere..



Keystone Canyon is so pretty

Horsetail Falls

27 Mile Glacier

I remember when the glacier reached the upper lake!



Would you rather have a social phobia that will never again allow you to hug or kiss anyone or have a social phobia that will never again allow you to look a person directly in the eye? The first one
