| Notice the white ice at the bottom? Just as we were walking up to the Glacier a HUGE chunk broke off! It made the loudest noise but instantly smashed into a million shards of ice once it made contact with the rock. We all started running towards it to watch. We were very lucky to have witnessed it because apparently people wait for days to see a part of the Glacier break off. |
 |
| Glaciers are so cool |
 |
| That bright blue colour happens when the sun light reflects off the ice |
 |
| "Wow" |
