Salmon Glacier

The Salmon Glacier in my opinion is the most beautiful and amazing glacier any where. Although due to the low clouds covering the upper glacier we were not able on this trip to see the whole thing, I was able to get some tight shots with the long lens to show the enormous crevasses, cracks and patterns, and the lovely blue colors from the highly compressed ice. The greatest challenge was including something in the frame for context and scale. The best I could do was include the edge of the mountain lip just above the glacier. Trust me, those blocks of ice down there are the size of large buildings!
