Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Glacier from N. Douglas road 5—24—62" in handwriting. The image shows an exterior, with a wide expanse of blue water stretching from the foreground to the middling area. This is either the Gastineau Channel or Young Bay. A small sliver of pebbled beach is visible on the lower right in the foreground, and a small figure is walking along it at left. In the background, there is a far shore with many snowcapped peaks. In the center of the far shore, a wide, flat, textured area colored white could be the eponymous glacier. The number "23" is printed in ink on the frame at the upper left. Also bears the printed text "JUL 62P" on the bottom edge, perhaps indicating when the slide was developed.
