Sunday Walk on the Glacier behind Palmer


 
Currently sea ice surrounds Palmer. This changes, often on a daily basis, based on wind conditions. Some days there is no sea ice. Other days it is like this.
 
Flags mark the limits of where we can walk on the glacier to prevent falling into crevasses.

 View from the highest point on the glacier that we can access.

  2. Water is crystal clear right now because the phytoplankton has not bloomed. You would love scuba diving here, if you like cold water.
