The Aletsch Glacier (German: Aletschgletscher) or Great Aletsch Glacier (German: Grosser Aletschgletscher) is the largest glacier in the Alps. It has a length of about 23 km (14 mi) and covers more than 120 square kilometres (46 sq mi) in the eastern Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The Aletsch Glacier is composed of three smaller glaciers converging at Concordia, where its thickness is estimated to be near 1 km (3,300 ft). It then continues towards the Rhone valley before giving birth to the Massa River.
The whole area, including other glaciers is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001.

This creeping glacier is comming to the lake which we use for the powerplant here in Pakitsoq. It is rough and very difficult to go over it.
On our next-to-last day in Alaska, we drove past the Matanuska Glacier. Tom was in the driver's seat so I was able to stick my camera out the window and take this from the moving truck. I forgot all about this image until I stumbled upon the RAW file yesterday. Imagine my joy!
This is Child's Glacier, one of the best road side glaciers in Alaska. This glacier is located about 30 miles from the beautiful town of Cordova.
I will post more shots of the glacier when it is caving. Stay tuned.. ;-)
Mt Scylla and Charibdis (2408m, 2367m) form a mountain massive presiding over Kitchener Glacier, with Moncrieff Peak (2262m) at the east end of the ridge (right side). Seen here from the Matuktuki Valley floor using telephoto zoom on a Panasonic FZ200 and processsing 3 images as HDR (High Dynamic Range).
Zoomed in using my 200mm lens (my heavy 200mm lens!), this panorama shows a lot of detail.
This High Dynamic Range panorama was stitched from 96 bracketed RAW images with PTGUI Pro, tone-mapped with Photomatix, and touched up in Aperture.
