Photo Of The Day – Sunset At Margerie And Grand Pacific Glaciers

Title: Sunset At Margerie And Grand Pacific Glaciers

Location: Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, USA, North America

Description: Now covered in stone and rubble, the Grand Pacific Glacier (black splotch on right side above waterline) once covered all of Glacier Bay just 250 years ago. That’s a distance of over 60 miles. Soon it will recede across the international border with Canada just behind the mountain on the left.

Margerie Glacier is a stable glacier with massive calving chunks falling daily and is the blue one on the left in the image.

Curious how to take better photos with that decent camera you have? I teach workshops and lead international photo tours.
