I'm glad I don't have to hike across that.

Love the tones & textures. I've been newly fascinated by glaciers due to a recent Arctic expedition by a group of photographers and YouTube videographers I follow. The trip was spearheaded by the Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. As Arctic tourism (not to mention oil industry exploration) is likely to increase a fair bit in the near future, I'm thinking I'd like to pay a visit before this happens. So in prep I'm scarfing up glacier pics.  :)

That is the first glacier I ever got really close to, some 42 years ago. I was astonished at how dirty it was, especially around the edges.
This is a muchbetter photo than any I got back then. I love the contrast between the gnarly forms in the foreground and the sunny mountain in the background.

I like the far/near composition. It reminds me of some of the photos taken during the early Himalayan expeditions.
