It was a gray day in Wrangell. The low misty clouds seemed to suck the color out of everything. Even the Evergreens looked like charcoal. It probably wasn’t the best day to see Le Conte Glacier, but it was the only time I had to do it, so I went despite the weather. It rained pretty much continuously, so lots of shots just didn’t work. To top it off, it was a bit windy so there was no hope of shielding my lens from rain drops. But I did manage to get a few useable shots and video scenes. They just look more like winter than summer. I guess if I have to get shots with a wintery look, it’s better to do it when it’s 60 degrees than when it’s 20.
Le Conte Bay was formed by the receding Glacier of the same name:
There are dozens of waterfalls from the perpetual ice fields atop the mountains:
One of the most interesting things about Glacial Ice is the color it shows due to the extreme compression:
This is the face of the Glacier. The Icebergs calve off of the face, but I didn’t see anything sizable break off:
Some of the smaller floating pieces look like Ice Sculptures. This looks like it could be trimmed up a little bit and make a good Salmon:
