Blue ice of Harvard Glacier. See #23, 6 photos back for what causes blue ice.

Is this a sea otter riding on some ice?

Previous picture enlarged. Looks a lot like an otter, but hard to tell. Black outline is very sharp for black rock dust stained ice.

One of the many melt water streams rushing down the mountain. It looks tiny here, but some were raging torrents.

That's it. Turn your head, so I can get your eye.

This is Yale Glacier, just to the South (right as we face it) of Harvard.

Leaving Yale Glacier. Fred and Sarah had a stateroom with balcony on the starboard side, and Sharon and mine was on the port side. We ran back and forth to view the glaciers on both sides.
The different colors of water are said to be from suspended glacier "flour," that is fine particles of rock. They must be really fine to give such a sharp boundary to the colors.

A smaller cruise ship in close to one of the Women's college named glaciers. As a large ship we had to stand way off. Again note no large pieces of ice floating (no recent calving events??)

A closeup of the last picture. At first glance this protuberance of ice looked like a giant calf that had very recently broken off, but actually it was just a bulge in the ice, probably supported on a finger of submerged land.

Closeup of the same glacier winding all the way up the mountain. Whether this was ice or just the track of a moving glacier, I could not tell. See the next photo.

From this picture it appears that this is a "skid mark" of a glacier that has finally melted. Like science says, global warming is real.
In the foreground well out from the glacier are kayakers who paddled past us as we stood in the water hoping for a calving event. I am sure they stayed well away from the ice cliffs of the glaciers to avoid being swamped by any calving event.
