Marjorie Glacier Calving




While we spent most of the day in Glacier Bay we spent most of 3 hours parked in front of the Marjorie Glacier. We saw quite a few calvings. A calving is when a piece of the glacier breaks off and tumbles into the water. The breaking off sounds like a gunshot. You would hear the crack and start looking for the falling ice. Sometime it would hit the water with a roar. I didn't get any on video but I did get one in a 20 picture series.
