Jackirmic adventures
Cloudy, rainy and foggy day, so different to yesterday. We went to a presentation by the National Park Ranger as we entered one of the worlds most significant natural parks were research has been taking place on the glaciers and global warming. The Grand Pacific Glacier has been retreating rapidly for over 100 years. 200 years ago the whole of Glacier Bay was covered by this glacier. It now is the least attractive looking glacier as it retreats and leaves behind it barren land. However the glacier beside it , the Marguarite Glacier is beautiful. We listened to it "calving" which sounds like thunder before you see a dust of ice drop into the water.
We are all rugged up today as it is cold.
