Description
Glacier top in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska. While on an Alaskan cruise we took a side trip into Kenai Fjords National Park - one of the best parts of our trip - to observe the wildlife, glaciers and natural beauty of our 50th state. This photo shows the jagged blue ice of the glacier tips against a deep blue sky.

A marvelous capture of this magnificent glacier, Joni. Love the juxtaposition of the blue glacial ice and the blue of the sky. f/l

Oh my gosh, a tower of Splendour! How utterly amazing, Joni! We've seen glaciers up close on our travels but this one is a wall right up close & personal... & tall! ....I'd like to visit Alaska , too ; so many places yet to see ... :))
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks Connie. Alaska is definitely worth the visit. We did a ground trip, followed by inside passage cruise. What stunning and majestic scenery. Appreciate the visit and your thoughtful comments.

Joni! so beautiful. The ice so old and blue like it only is where it has been for a very long time. Beautiful against the sky! Wonderful! :-) Maggie
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks so much Maggie! Yes, you have to see some of the other wide angle shots from this area to get the scale and see just how high up this is, but layer upon layer of ice accumulated, resulting in these top peaks of beautiful blue ice. Such a wonderful experience!

Amazing...I thought it was the side of a high snow wall and frozen...but than I saw it was a a glacier ! Amazing....the scale factor !! :)
Joni Eskridge replied:
Long-reaching lenses are very helpful! If you check out my Alaska gallery, you can see the glacier both in a calving shot and a long range as well. In the calving shot notice the gulls in the foreground to get an idea of scale. In the long-range one it's the trees in front of the glacier - which are separated be a corridor of water and they are no small trees, though they look like saplings. Alaska is an amazing place! Thanks for the visit Michel!
