I was surprised to see so many mountain tops with such vastly differing geology.
Arctic day 5: So much texture

Artic Day 4: Monacobreen
It was incredible to take our zodiacs into the icefields, surrounded by icebergs and glaciers. The ice sounds like rice krispies in milk!
Arctic day 2: Ny Alesund
The Glaciers were enormous and very blue. Note the tiny lil zodiacs on the bottom left.
The ice bergs were breathtaking AND dangerous.
On our first day’s outing a zodiac hit an underwater iceberg. It sliced the side open and two participants immediately flipped over backwards into the 38 degree water. They were promptly rescued by crew in 17 seconds according to the ships video. BRRRRR
Also 2 weeks before another expedition ship hit an iceberg and put a hole in the hull that had to be repaired at sea…Our ship on one occasion veered at 30 degrees to avoid an iceberg leaving everyone on board a little shaky
Beautiful Place To Reflect…
I feel SOOOOOOO fortunate to live in the shadow of the Olympic Mountains. Lake Crescent is less than an hour from Sequim. It is truly awe inspiring.
Mountains views
Beautiful view from this farm just blocks from downtown Sequim.
Morning light on Lake Crescent
Another BEAUTIFUL photo by friend Witta Priester, capturing the amazing colors of the lake in morning light.
Beautiful farmland view.
