In reply to Life Leaps. @Life Leaps - Thank you. And the glacier you're talking about sounds amazing, would love to see it by boat.

Loved your post! One awesome glacier field is about 20 minutes outside Seward, Alaska. It’s really eye-opening. As you drive into the park, you pass through where the ice used to be, and they have year-markers like mile markers. You drive and drive and progress as you see where the glacier used to be. You get a sense of how impactful the warming trend really is, regardless of what you think causes it. And the glacier field is gorgeous just the same. Also not to be missed is to see glaciers from boats as you see the calving (ice falling into the water). Just amazing!

So cool! Not many people can say they’ve actually been on a glacier. 🙂

An experience of a lifetime. Interesting photos especially with the Ice Explorer vehicles.

Looks amazing. If anyone is interested in seeing a glacier up close, sadly they should do so quickly!

Absolutely beautiful and not at all like the south of Spain!

Wow. Glaciers sure look different when they’re up close! Did the meltwater taste any different than normal water?

Love the Columbia Icefields! On our visit, we stayed across the highway at the icefields lodge – great experience all around!

In reply to David @ MalaysiaAsia. I was wondering the same thing.
