Description

This is the little lake at the bottom of the wall visible in yesterday's posting. Not the best picture of the lake, but I wanted to show the lines in the ice. I doubt that they're actually called rings, but each one represents a year, just as with tree rings. The brown is dirt that falls onto the ice during the summer, and the white is the snow that covers it the next winter. I'll have to post some broader views to give everyone a better idea of the overall look of the place. Thanks for stopping by and any comments.

Oh wow, this is IMPRESSIVE! I guess the rings are simply layers that are bent here, and it shows the annual precipitation, with a layer of pebbles and dust in between! So... you can see the age of the glacier by counting the layers! Gorgeous work, love to see the glaciers entering the water! :)
