The noise is thunderous! An amazing experience. I may be going back in July, and taking a fun group with me. If you're interested, let me know.
Thank you very much for stopping by tonight!

I would love to visit Alaska, looks like i better get a move on thou :(

It's a real shame, they say the glaciers of the Mont Blanc mountain (highest mountain in Europe) will all be gone in around 50 years!

I wonder just how many islands are going to be more...

Thank you, Jayen, for your thoughtful comment. I know you are thinking about what we have- and may lose. Your videos are amazing! Keep exploring and traveling- and sharing your adventures with us!

Hmmmm.... I'm sure there is a certain amount of erosion of the glacier by the wake from the ships, but something tells me that the combination of the layers of pollution and global warming are taking their toll on these wonders. Great vid Leigh -- more...

LOL- lunch, as always, was plentiful and good.
This was my second visit to this glacier, the visits one year apart. The facade of the glacier has totally changed from the prior year.
In this area, the ships cut their engines, and actually stop down for more...

You captured some great footage! I always enjoy your videos...now, let's go grab some lunch!

Posted Dec 6, 08 by LeighRichards
Thanks, Suze! You get my vote for someone I want by my side for the next trip!! We can sing on the plane- on the train- on the ship- and up on a glacier -like the Von Trapps!

Pretty soon there won't be any more glaicers to calve. It's a good thing you got to see them while they still exist.

Posted Dec 6, 08 by LeighRichards
Wes, thank you for watching!
It is an amazing thing to watch. This is my third trip back to that specific glacier, and on this trip we saw more calving than ever before...right time-right place!
