In to the ICE FORTRESS!

[forever_wandering]

Cleaning out my memory card, I came across some wonderful pictures! 

The day I went to see the Glaciers with my Mom!!

How old was I at the time? I don't even remember...

Honestly speaking, I hadn't wanted to go. I remember wanting to stay home because I didn't like the extreme cold at the time.  Besides, they were just huge chunks of ice right? So boring!  

WRONG. 

Many of these "Chunks of ice" were more than eight times my size. They were massive and oh so pretty! 

I'm glad I went . Every time I watch the discovery channel and they talk about how the glaciers are disappearing, I feel glad that I had a chance to see them. 

And I can't believe I had forgotten about this day.

wow, that all looks amazing! Having been to Harbin to see all that snow and ice, but these glaciers are something else entirely!

Now you've made me want to go see them too!

I've seen my fair share of snow and ice but seeing these glaciers up close and touching them was an entirely different story.

Once you get to Juneau, AK, the trip out to see them is relatively cheap. It's about $250USD and they take you out to the open sea between Juneau and Canada. You could pay an additional $300 to a different company and actually walk across a massive glacier that would take you four miles away from Canada.
