New Website, New Blog, but the Old Blog Archive remains: September 28, 2023

After many years of wanting a real website, this month I finally have a website designed by the very knowledgeable Rey Rey Rodriguez ( TheMindOfReyRey ). My old blog,  Vacation-Travel-Adventure .com  continues with the same address but it is located in the "Archives" tab on my new website  https://www.ceciliaclark.com/ . The new blog which is a continuation but with much better resolution for 4K screens is now at  https://www.ceciliaclark.com/blog .

Icebergs and Glaciers, Alaskan Vacation: July 28-29, 2015


We motored past Sum Dum Glacier in the Endicott Arm finding spectacular icebergs along the way as we journeyed toward the South Dawes Glacier. One iceberg with lots of jutting points provided a handy perch for a large group of Glaucous-Winged Gulls.







In the distance we could see the deep, deep blue of a large iceberg. At close range, it did not disappoint.




Each face of the glacier had a different texture and shade of blue.



Threading our way through icebergs and frequent waterfalls, we finally arrived at the face of South Dawes Glacier.



To provide a sense of the scale of this glacier face, the above photo shows a boat anchored between some of the smaller icebergs and the face of South Dawes Glacier.


Leaving the glacier behind, the surrounding mountains looked like polished metal sculptures in the overcast light. The mountains took on a monochrome look while the glaciers remained an otherworldly blue.


Magical day!
