My son Chris and I went on an all-day glacier hike. It just happened that we were the only ones on this tour so we had our own private guide – Kate. We hiked a couple hours into the glacier to the big stuff – crevasses, ice caverns, water falls, ice flows, huge ice valleys and mountains and little did we know – dangerous conditions. Check out our journey.
Don’t fall in there!
Don’t swim in there!
That’s all ice in those cone shapes.
More cones.
We walked across this peak without ropes. Scared the shit out of me.
Chris and Kate.
Don’t fall in there.
During the hike in – that’s all ice over 1,000 feet thick.
Ice boys.
Kate and Scott.
This was really steep! It looks deceiving.
Gonna take a dive to never never land.
River disappearing into a big frozen place a thousand feet into the glacier.
Don’t slip there!
Can’t see the bottom.
The new style – coolots on a glacier. Had to jack up my pants because the crampons kept grabbing my pants and trying to trip me at – always in inappropriate time – like when we were on a steep cliff of traversing a crevasse.
Drinking thousand year old pure water.
As the annual glacier rings are formed the ice can roll and turn over creating these flat trails between ice blocks.
Really steep. Don’t want to fall here.
