I *did* say it was one of those weeks. Let's see if I can get back on schedule this week.
Glaciers seem to be massive, immovable and permanent.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

TRACY ARM FJORD, ALASKA - ICE, ICE BABY
The Tracy Arm Fjord lies an hour or so south of Juneau by boat.
The fjord was formed by a now-retreating glacier, but the ice river left
behind deep canyons and scarps to mark its passing.

South Sawyer Glacier
A three hour ride from Juneau, Alaska, and deep into the heart of the Tracy Arm Fjord lie the twin North and South Sawyer Glaciers. The South is by far the more spectacular, reaching -- at least when we were there in 2004 -- nearly a mile across and hundreds of feet high.
I understand it's a bit less impressive these days, but no doubt still wrath the journey through some of the most stunning natural scenery in the world.
