Exit Glacier terminus, near Seward, Alaska
As the glacier inches its way down from the Harding Icefield in the Kenai Mountains, it grinds up the rock along its course and deposits some of it in front of its snout, as a gravel-like terminal moraine.
In the interior of the glacier the ice is blue. This is not a product of photoshop in this photo. The ice is so heavily compacted that the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by it and only the blue (short wavelengths) light is reflected. From a slide.
