Large Calving Event: South Sawyer Glacier, Alaska (2012) - © Andrew C. Williams

Glacier ice emerges from underneath the waterline at South Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska during a calving event.

 

The deep blue ice is the product of tightly compacted snow formed under immense weight and pressure over many many years.
