And, a few last from the glacier...
the overshoe boots they gave us had tungsten tips in the soles, and one literally could not slide with them on. We all took them off to try the glacier surface, and though it looks dirty and debris ridden, and granular, it is almost as slippery as indoor hockey rink ice, about the end of the first period, due to the constant flow of melt water throughout the glacier structure, esp in the summer months.
The size and scale, and weird colors and shapes, are impossible to convey in photos. Like being on another planet.
