And this is what Gary took us to see. Wonderful glaciers. You can see the density of the ice from the colour it takes: a beautiful, deep blue. Usually there is a decent fall of ice into the water each day. It’s shocking when you see it, and realise how quickly global warming is destroying these beautiful natural wonders. On one of the photos on Flickr, if you look at it, you’ll see a photo of the harbour as we returned. There is one massive apartment building there that houses ninety percent of all the people there, and a massive hill behind it. Apparently in the 1980s when Gary came to Alaska from New York, that hill was covered by an enormous glacier. It’s retreated so far, you can’t see it any more from the water.
