Ice cave

We witnessed this glacier calving -- from a safe distance, fortunately. This is why we don't go too close to the edge of a glacier like this. You can tell from all the brash in the foreground that this glacier is very actively calving. I thought it was amazing that the splash/explosion of ice hitting the water actually went higher than the height of the glacier face itself.
