on the way to glacier moreno . if you notice the boat in the right hand corner it can kind of give you an idea on how massive the glacier is.
i thought the icebergs were simply amazing
one of my favs...the colors are so pure
Anna and James in front of the glacier
James and blake
on the boat ride to other side of the lake where we started our hike
anna and james getting some nourishment after our one to many bottles of wine the night before:)
the line is very noticeable in this one...but it was so funny! james was making anna pose
messing with the aperture but kind of like the way it turned out
this one a little toooooo bright
gettin on the glacier!
a pic of my awkward cramp on feet
on of many many crevasses in the glacier, this is what the guides had to navigate around
really love the this one if it didnt have the line!
the mountain , not sure of the name, where the glacier came down
the guides head trying to find a safe route
