Oh yeah, we did this like a month ago and just now realized we forgot to post. It was really spectacular to get that close to it. The day we went was beautifully sunny and really warm… but the closer we got to the glacier the cooler the air felt… who knew! It was like we were standing next to a big AC or something. We were warned not to get to close to the face because you never know when a chunk the size of a house may fall off. About a week before we went, 2 people were killed at Fox glacier (20 minutes away) for standing under an ice cave at the terminal face (like the one behind us in the first picture.) Unfortunately, the ice collapsed in the cave. It was big news around here. So we were extra careful. Don”t worry mom! We were still 200 meters away. But the weird thing was, we could hear the ice cracking.  We heard huge deep cracking noises which is a bit unsettling. But then again, the glaciers are always moving.

Us at the terminal face.
