Icebergs floating in the lake below the glacier. I don't think I'd ever seen a real iceberg before this.

This was one time when the poor weather we ran into actually worked for us...apparently the overcast conditions allow you to better see the blue color in the ice.

We saw some calving of the glacier...the sound was more spectacular than the sight. They called the sound "white thunder" because it really sounded like thunder.

Not much ice in this picture...but she felt icy. This was at Denali National Park and the wind chill was considerable.

...and this was the photo he got of the mountain. We were lucky to see this much of the mountain. It's usually shrouded by the clouds.
