Maddy in the chopper
The dirt indicates where three
glaciers have smashed together.
Soon after arrival.
Loading on the crampons.
Maddy's foot is registered as a deadly weapon.
For perspective, look at the tiny people behind us.
And, relatively speaking, they aren't that far away.
This may give you an idea of the vastness of the glacier.
We eventually went to where the tiny people are.
And then we were tiny too. This glacier is
MUCH bigger than you can tell from the photos.
Maddy ice climbing.
I wouldn't have made it this far without growing
these really cool ice picks out of my hands.
Maddy celebrates reaching the top!
And, this is where I froze. Not literally, but
figuratively. I forgot the purpose of reaching the top.
Trekking the glacier.
Standing in the stream,
with the waterfall behind us.
In another blue ice cave.
We celebrate our return to base.
