After a little kayak training in Seward Bay, the team was transported by chartered boat near the Hulgate Glacier in the Kenai Fjord. This was to be the base camp for the next 7 nights. The days were spent exploring some of the most unique landscape in the world. Sunday and Monday involved trips along the front of the Hulgate glacier. Most definitely, Celeste says.
Glaciers are very noisy.
A glacier is a very slow moving river of ice. As it moves it digs up rocks and dirt in its path. When the front of a glacier reaches a cliff such as at the edge of a fjord it starts to push out into mid-air held up by the cohesion of the ice. However, before too long, the suspended ice becomes too heavy and gigantic pieces break away falling into the sea. This process is called calving and is4he main producer of icebergs.
