Glacier Bay

We spent one whole day just floating around in Glacier Bay National Park. As you can see, the glaciers are huge. They are also receding quickly.  The Park Rangers got on the ship and spoke to us all about these glaciers for hours.  That was extremely enlightening because I don't know much about glacier formation.  And, now I know, when the snow fall exceeds the snow melt, then glaciers form.  Of course, that is a very simplified version of what the ranger told us...but, that is how I will remember it.  Climate change is alive and well in Alaska.  We saw it at the Mendenhall Glacier, as well.
