Glacier Bay

We cruised all day to Glacier Bay. We stopped at the face of this 250 ft glacier for an hour and was lucky enough to watch it calve.
We had a coupe of onboard lectures. One was about the glacier formed and what happens to the land as it recedes. The other was from a storyteller of the Tlingit people who used to live right where the glacier now is. It would appear that this glacier, named Marjorie, has only been on the move a couple of hundred years. These people were forced off their land because the glacier started to move. This particular one is a living glacier which means it is being fed by the snow. It looks blue in parts beacause blue cannot penetrate the very thick ice. All other colours are absorbed

When I get home I will post extras
