In June, my daughter Katie took this shot of one of the ice caves in the Mendenhall Glacier, which is about 12 miles from Juneau and is part of the Tongass National Forest. A month later, some of the roof of one of the caves collapsed (not sure if it was this very one). The ice had thinned out due to you-know-what. Even here, you can see how much the ice is melting at the entrance. [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |
sad. global warming, even if people deny it...

GREAT SHOT OF THE ICE MELTING!
ReplyDeleteKatie is very brave. I would have wanted this shot but the idea of it would frighten me due to YOU KNOW WHAT! :)

Agree she was brave. But her bravery yielded a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteSad, but a beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteThat's a spectacular shot. Carver, ABC-W-Team (I don't have an I post this week)
ReplyDeleteI love the translucent turquoise. It looks like a slo-mo version of this sport.
ReplyDeleteThe water dripping at the entrance must be cold. Maybe even refreshing. Maybe drinking it would be a kind of tonic. Let me get my glass.
Hmm. For what reason would the Tongass National Forest appeal to Katie?
Wow, now that is amazing!
