An amazing formation of the glacier Ted - the shape, colors, and texture created by natural occurrences provide us with an artistic object - Very Nicely Done!!!!!

Ted, I don't know when this unique photograph was taken.
If this was a long time ago, I hope this glacier has not been affected by climate change. Some people claim that climate change is a hoax, but if one look at the degeneration of the glaciers for instance in Europe and claim that nothing is wrong, this one is seeing blind.
Beautiful photograph by the way!

The scale of this image boggles my mind. The shapes and colours tell a whole story.

An amazing sight to be sure, Ted. A week spent in Glacier National Park netted us just one glacier, the Jackson on the east side of the Continental Divide. There were others we might have been able to reach but even then my knees weren*t quite up for it. In the national park named for them, global warming has accelerated glacier melt. Of the 150 glaciers in Glacier National Park in 1850, only 25 remain. Between 1966 and 2015, all of the 26 (then) named glaciers in the park got smaller. Some lost as much as 80% of their area, but the average loss was 40%. For years, the park has predicted all of its glaciers would be gone by 2020. Considering the wacko weather we have been getting for the last couple years, it may be sooner. Even just a small amount of what you have captured here, Ted, is more than the total ice in Glacier. While it is so cool to see the striating of the blending glaciers, the blue in that ice is the oldest.

Guess I*m gonna have to take a trip to Alaska (already on my bucket list for 40+ years).

Happy Trails A.C. (After Covid)

Whoa, that is amazing and such detail and colours in the glacier, really a wonderful shot
