Glenn Highway, June 21, 2001
Our first look at Matanuska Glacier, seen from the Glenn Highway.
[800x600][1600x1200]
A 10x zoom is useful at times like this.
[800x600][1600x1200]
The rest of these pictures are taken at the Matanuska Glacier State Recreation Site. It's interesting that there are equatorial glaciers in South America.
[800x600][1600x1200]
Glaciers are slow-moving, but maybe not as slow as you think. I think we read somewhere that this glacier moves about 1 foot per day, and has been stable (ending around the same point) for about 400 years.

Another look.

And another zoom in.
