After
concuring the Mendenhall glacier, Lou takes a break for a photo op with his queen of the
ice Karen. Do you think they are cold? |

Pictures
are misleading. This is a hole in the ice of the Mendenhall glacier. Now picture this, the
Mendenhall glacier is several miles long and wide. It is over 400 feet deep. So yes, as
you see us standing on top of the glacier, we are standing on 400 feet of ice. This hole
is roughly about 18 inches in diameter and 120 FEET deep. We were told that when no one is
around the tour guides actually rope down to the bottom. The hole is just as you see it
all the way down. Why is the hole (ice) blue? |
