Life in Alaska - Part IX

[Nanuq]

Ice caving in search of the elusive iceworm. My daughter and I braved the depths of Byron glacier

on a fun father-daughter outing.

About to plunge in!

Crawling in through the chute

She made it!

C'mon old man you can do it too...

Getting deeper inside the glacial stream inside the glacier.

The roof collapsed

Getting a funny feeling about this

This is as far as we can get

And here they are! Real living iceworms.

Very cool in more than one sense of the word, but pray tell what are iceworms?

Once in my Life I have to make it there... promised Scenery is - as usual - very beautiful.

So thats why the look shriveled, the flash from your camera fried them

Amazing shots nanuq and a real beautiful place to spend lots of time in. Amazing that I am from a tropical climate and love both extremes of nature. Hot and Cold.

I hope to soon spend a few weeks up there seeing how emptyness abounds in a planet wih so much of it still.

Great Post!!! I have a "Daddys girl"(8yrs old) also who never wants me to go anywhere without her. We mostly do "Desert rat" things around here. Beautiful pictures!!!
