Description
This ice-filled closeup of the Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, in southeastern Alaska USA, captures the tranquil yet rugged natural beauty of one of America's most scenic national parks. Available in large sizes for full appreciation of its interesting shapes, patterns, colors, and textures. A calming scene, filled with ice and rugged blues, from huge glacier to glacial peaks in the mountains beyond. This beauty will never go out of style.
This image looks as if it came from the pages of National Geographic, and would be ideal for a wall of your home or office. For a fascinating focal point, it could also be paired or used in a grouping of similar images from my new Alaska gallery. Interior designers should note that this versatile series would be ideal not only for home décor, but for offices, hospitals, and nursing homes.
Filling the rest of the frame are the surrounding peaks, including Mount Fairweather in the background. One also sees a narrow portion of ocean in which small chunks of calved ice float, plus clear blue sky. This scene vividly captures the stunning, raw beauty of Glacier Bay Basin, which in my opinion and that of many others should be at the top of everyones bucket list. A naturally beautiful horizontal scenic landscape photograph to be enjoyed for years to come.
In addition to the Margerie Glacier, other well-known glaciers in Glacier Bay Basin and areas nearby include Hubbard Glacier, Lamplugh Glacier, Grand Pacific Glacier, Muir Glacier, Taku Glacier, Reid Glacier, Brady Glacier, Harriman Glacier, and Mendenhall Glacier.

Connie, this is one amazing capture - gorgeous. And you included a wonderful description. f/l
Connie Fox replied:
Thank you, Cindy, for your kind and generous words about this image. Fortunately we chose a small ship that could get pretty close to the glaciers. In this case it really paid off. Thanks for mentioning the description too. I find myself unable to write brief descriptions, so it's nice to know that this long, informative one was appreciated. Thanks for taking the time, and for favoring my work.
