I'm sorting through photos we took in 2008 at the Mendel Glacier. This is a photo of me, standing there chilling on the glacier.
And, I really mean chilling. It was downright freezing. The wind started howling about an hour after we climbed the talus slope to the top. We were just below 13,700 feet.
The fractured granite had obviously been tossed in many directions as this little glacier moved over the last few centuries. It is melting now.
Are there still more bodies in this frozen place? I wonder.
