Old mother, maybe. Been here a long time, for sure. This is one of the biggest glaciers with an ocean front, over a mile wide. It is one of the few glaciers not receding & if it continues it will block a neighbouring river creating a massive ice dam that will back up into a lake until it bursts through. We were the first cruise ship to visit this season. It is spectacular, the blue ice, where air has been crushed out of the normal ice makes it blue. Massive chunks were breaking off with the sound of thunder & making mini tsu, psu, tidal waves (can't spell it). Lots of little ice bergs to cruise through, but got pretty close up. This was a sea day so next stop will be off time.
