Alaska photos!

[witherwings7]

I promised somebody I would get some photos up and I'm sticking to that! It's weird, I usually go nuts trying to share my photos with you but I've been crazy busy so I haven't been able to.
A real update to come fairly soon but for now here's a few photos from Alaska!
A view from space
A very interesting map. This map shows the glaciers receding

Wow! So pretty! The colors and the stripes were so vibrant. I think people think of icebergs as being, ya know, white. Lol... But it was so beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us!

There's so many colors for an iceberg, you also find green, blue, and marble glaciers. :)

Yeah, until she started posting her pictures I never knew icebergs came in other colors than white...lol.

So very pretty.

The picture with the tiny iceberg with the sediment looks like a truck ran over it, hahaha. And is that seal defecation/urine in the second one? I love seals.

And that last picture, I'm totally jealous. It's gorgeous!!! And the water!!! It would be neat to blow it up and frame it.

The second iceberg shot? Nah, that's sediment from the John Hopkins glacier. You can see all the sediment in the glacier, it breaks off with the iceberg. The dark pieces in the water is just 'dirty ice'

It was so still and silent in that Bay. You could hear birds from high up in the cliffs. The major sound from the Bay was when a glacier calved, then you heard the cracking like a gunshot and then the roar as it fell into the water.
The color of the water is caused from the minerals found in the glaciers. Just beautiful!

Oh, I meant in the second seal picture, it looks like there's a brownish yellow spot underneath him near his tail/rear.

That's most likely seal leavings, yes :P
