We stomped up the glacier, ultimately coming to various ice caves. When you would look into them there were the most incredible blues. I’d say maybe not as good as all the blues you got in the water in Tahiti, especially around Bora Bora, but then again – these were different blues than those. Let’s not have a fight – I’ll just say for now that the southern hemisphere, so far, does blue better than the northern. I’m willing to have folks point me to places in our hemisphere they think compete with either Tahiti or the Glacier, but I’m not sure I’ll get many ideas.
Gerard told us the reason you get the blues here is because the blue lightwave is the only one that doesn’t get completely sucked up by the ice…because they are shorter, or something to that effect. I told you I wouldn’t remember all the glacier facts – those of you who are more scientific than I can post a better, more detailed explanation in the comments.
After creeping into a crevasse, and sticking our heads in this one cave, we had all come out to listen to Gerard give us some more glacier explanations and trivia. While standing just outside the cave, we suddenly heard a crack, something big fall, and then the cracking noise reverberated under our feet and continued down the mountain. Gerard told us earlier that we had no worries about anything giving way today, but Malcolm and I were looking at each other with mild trepidation as the noise echoed down the hill.
