Glacier Day

The skies had been mostly cloudy since we arrived in Gustavus.  Wednesday night we prayed for light;  Thursday morning we woke up to a clear sky.  Wednesday night we prayed for the rough edges to be made smooth; Thursday morning we watched the edges of glaciers calve into perfectly flat water.

More words...I don't have them.  Just look at the pictures...

<sigh>
Do you see the Fish?

Blackwood heads out to scout the ice...
... while Captain Charles maneuvers from the fly bridge...
...as JW spots

A calving glacier...
...and the big splash

5.5 miles away from this one was the closest we could get because of the ice








Boys fooling around.  Don't ask.
