Experiencing Wondrous Alaska- Glaciers
Month Visited- July 2016 A lot of planning, debates and discussions, post which #Alaska happened for us. One word 'Paradise', we knew it, but feeling it was 'unbelievably incredìble!', to say the least! This was our longest trip so far, 10 days. This post is about our visiting three #Fjords out of some 10 to 12 fjords in Alaska. The first was in #kenai Peninsula, the #Holgate #glacier . The experience we had at the first sight of it was jaw dropping! Until that moment, fjords/glaciers, were only in geography books. The process of #Calving, that happened from time to time had a confounding effect on us! Calving is when chunks of ice breaks loose from the edges of a glacier and at that time it also makes kind of an extremely powerful thundering sound. Holgate has those more frequently than the other two. The other two were, #Matanuska glacier and #Portage glacier. Portage had these amazing icy blue crevices at different places, which shone like crystals! M
