top ten Alaska pictures

[psocoptera]

With the best last:

Clouds.
Ice ridges on Mendenhall Glacier.
Glacial valley and glassy water.
From the helicopter.
Pond at Butchart Gardens.
Glacier meeting bay.
"Ack, wrong way, turn around!"
Glacier meeting rock.
Glacial stream.
Josh and Amy down a moulin!

(These are currently in an album of "everything decent", 250 pictures; eventually there will also be an album of "everything good", our favorite 60-80 shots. But now you're spoiled for the highlights. If I was less of a slacker I would remind myself how to do image tags so you didn't have to open all these pages separately. But I wanted to get these up before Josh did. Which is kind of unfair, as he took most of them. Possibly *all* of them, actually. All hail Josh!)

One of the park rangers (the good one) at Glacier Bay was saying that there's actually some thought that the glaciers there might at least initially grow as a result of global warming because it will bring even more water into the area which means more snow. Given that the ice field that produces the glaciers already gets 150 feet of snow per year, that's a rather astonishing thought.
