Amazing night at Knik Glacier. A big thanks to Travis Saunders for inviting me along to experience an amazing place. With the full moon there was no need for a flashlight. The iceberg in this image was as larger than a house. It was one of hundreds frozen in to the lake that sits at the base of Knik Glacier. The face of Knik Glacier is 5-6 miles wide. The glacier is around 30 miles from the face to where it originates in the Chugach mountains.
The view from my backyard was golden today. We've had 2 weeks of sub-zero temperatures. The ice crystal form a crust on everything it touches. As the sun rises around 10a.m. it lights up the frosted trees.
Yes, it was as cold as it looks in this picture. The temperatures were around -12F to -23F throughout the night. A lot of layers and handwarmers.
