Ice Cave

Ice Cave, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.

Ice Cave, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.

It is hard to get a sense of scale, but this was a huge cave – the ceiling was a good 8 feet in height.  It followed the small creek over to the right out of this frame.  I found this last Friday – the bright sunny skies helped illuminate the ice inside the cave with a beautiful blue glow.

I photographed this from outside the cave looking in.  These caves can be fun to explore, but this one was way to sketchy, there is no way I would enter a cave like this – it looked like huge hunks of ice could fall at any momment!

Good idea Ron. At least it looks like you were in the cave. :-)
