We did finally make it up to Matanuska Glacier this week, through heavy snow, and occasional near whiteout conditions. The view from the Long Rifle Lodge made the glacier look like a white cow in snow.
A close up view of the glacier, as seen through trees – probably black spruce.
And just in case you don't believe me, two nearly identical views taken on a sunny late February day in 2007.

Yea!!!! I've been waiting for these pictures! Yippee! :) How gorgeous- oh how it makes me long for home. Hmm... I've never been back to view it with geologist eyes now that I think upon it. There is an old mine near my village I've always wanted to explore- guess I should try to carve out some time to do that before we move again.
In the meantime I'm enjoying hearing about YOUR trip- and you take better pictures than me anyhow! :)
Sounds like a fun trip!!
BTW, I nominated you for a blog award. http://paleochick.blogspot.com/2010/03/sunshine-award.html
Safe travels home!
CP, get out there and see that mine! I used to say things like, "Oh, I'll come back later," but it doesn't always work out that way, so I try to stop and look now (of course that isn't always possible). Glad you like the pics! :)
ReBecca, thanks for the award! Now, to think of 7 things... ;)
