Glacier Spotting

A few weeks ago we were roughing it in Alaska. Cookie Pockets found a bear.


The tall peak is Mount Saint Elias (the second highest mountain in both the United States and Canada [18,009 feet]). It's ~40 miles in the distance.


Hubbard Glacier, the longest tidewater glacier in the US with a calving face 6 miles long. That's right, six-miles long, although we are only seeing 3-4 miles wide here, due to the island and land on the right hand side.
