Iceberg #3...

Iceberg #3...the biggest we saw...This photo was taken while I was 'bumping' up and down in the back of the Kamotik....but I like how it turned out with the mitt and corner of the kamotik....

...still on the move, but a closer look---LUV the dark blue spot on it.....you can tell from the edges that it has tipped and moved around a bit!


...this spot use to be 'under' the berg...but has been tipped up for us to see!




Sometimes the photo just speaks for itself!!!



YES that dark black little teeny tiny spec in the photo is ME!!! (can you see now how HUGE these things are?! It still blows my mind that these are actually 'small'...)


Just hanging out..need a stretch.......

After all day in a hat... my head just needs to 'breathe'.... gotta luv hair that just decides to go crazy in the wind!!! (was actually trying to 'untuck' it from my scarf, and coat....am so glad that Jerry caught this shot...thanks!)


My FOOT is on the glacier---our guide, went first to make sure that the ice was 'stable' (although it still was fairly dangerous...these things can tip/roll at the drop of a hat....) but Can you say that you've had your foot on an Iceberg?? I can!

...a bit of perspective...in case you didn't think I was actually touching it!


...not sure if you can look at the 'worried' ok get me OUT of here look on my face... because IF i fell; I'd end up in the water.... not a good scene....22+kms out of town....

..luckily our guide helped out yet again.... LUV this guy!!! together we worked out how to get me off of this thing SAFELY!!!!! (I wouldn't have gotten close to the thing if I didn't trust this guy!)



..Back on 'safe' ice?....

...modeling the metal pole that was used to test out the thickness of the ice...and how thick it was.....

Loved meeting Iceberg #3.....it was pretty with that dark blue stripe... Also was a nice spot for our picnic lunch.... stay tuned for photos from the last berg coming tomorrow!!!
