Ice



27 August 2014   Athabasca Glacier

By now you know that I take special pains to avoid ice unless it’s neutralized by bourbon.


So climbing up to a big chunk of it without Jack Daniels seemed foolhardy.


On the way we got to see some ads by the IPCC (the climate hockey stick folks). Apparently they discovered that ice melts and we should be informed.


Over and over.


Personally I don’t think of this as a loss of ice. More like renewed views of land we haven’t seen for a while. Should somebody tell the IPCC people that the land was there before the ice?



It was cold close to the ice. This is my best fake smile when cold. Just before the sleet storm and more dropping temperatures.

Fake smile


Real smile
No sleet pictures – you might find that disturbing.
Ice stuff is over – let’s get back to the car.
