Artist's Note:
Looking from the inside out. The intense blue colors found in glacial ice are no where better revealed than from inside a glacier. In this ice cave beneath the Mendenhall Glacier, its terminus is revealed just a short ways beyond. Glaciers are made of ice so dense that some geologists classify it as a mineral. Ice axes and crampons, tools designed for glacier travel, can hardly make any purchase in the hardest, most dense ice and are primarily used for travel on softer ice, ice found on the surface of glaciers. But even though glaciers are solid, they are not stagnant. Constantly in motion, even in the dead of winter, glaciers are dynamic environments. As evidenced by the large blocks of ice in the foreground of this photo that weren't there at the base of this cave the day before! Canon EOS 1DsMark2, 16mm, F13, 1/60 sec. year:2007
