The weather wasn't as good but the glacier was amazing, we stopped for the somewhat obligatory now it seems photos, where we all seem to be posing as if we are in a boy band all of the time, it's getting to be a bit of a long running joke now, so I think we are hamming it up a little but it's still fun doing it!
