I went to Mendenhall Glacier twice this weekend and to the ski resort once. I was able to get back into the Glacier itself again today. That was not possible yesterday because there was a pool of water in front of the entrance. It was about 5 degrees last night so the water froze up and I was able to get inside the Glacier. It had some loud pops in there.
I then went to a hill and was taking pictures down onto the glacier when I talked to a fellow who said, 'You are 150 feet from the ice cave.' I checked it out and sure enough, I was close to an ice cave. I took pictures then fell on some ice and whacked the camera. I hope old faithful is still working. The pictures posted are not of the glacier. those will be coming up later. I sure hope the camera will come back to life.
Is it working at all now?? I get so afraid when I am on ice w/ my camera. I hope it works for you again because I love seeing your pictures.
ReplyDeleteAfter a couple of hours of the lens stuck open, it went in and seems to be working.
ReplyDeleteI want to get back to the ice cave and take more pictures. It is pretty amasing inside the ice cave. It was also a super sunny day so lots of sun shining through the ice.
rememnber when we were kids and there were ice caves at Mt Rainier, I think most of them are gone now, glad you enjoyed your adventure
