Day 267

Monday, September 29, 2014

The last view.  While this looks like it should be before the two previous posts, it was actually taken eight minutes after the ones below.  We were just starting to go around an island when I took the ones below, with a wide angle lens.  This one was with a telephoto lens after we passed […]

Day 264

Monday, September 29, 2014

One last calving/ice fall…for now… To get an idea of the scale, there are two large seagulls at the base of the fall.  In the closeup below the chunk of ice just above them is the size of a small car… ~Curtis in Alaska! {!-{>

Day 260

Sunday, September 28, 2014

If you look to the right of the center, and slightly up you will see a big chuck of ice start to fall.  It smashes when it hits the ice below, and you can see why the water is full of little bits of ice. ~Curtis in Alaska! {!-{>

Day 259

Sunday, September 28, 2014

Those chunks of ice floating below the glacier are some of what we saw fall in previous posts. Before the glacier calves, you hear a loud booming, a few seconds before the ice falls.  I recall this was called “white thunder”.  It is the ice cracking prior to the fall.  You have a couple of […]
