LeConte Glacier Ice Flow

The LeConte Glacier is a highly active tidewater glacier located in Southeast Alaska, approximately 20 miles (32 km) east of Petersburg. The ice of the glacier is often a brilliant turquoise or deep blue, especially when freshly exposed or submerged. This vibrant color is due to the absorption of red light and the scattering of blue light within the dense ice.
