Description
You can drive to some of Alaska's glaciers; you can stroll to Exit Glacier. It's in Kenai Fjords National Park just outside of the town of Seward and only a 20-minute walk from the parking area. The best, and most challenging, trail is the Harding Icefield Trail; it climbs 3,500 feet in 4.2 miles and is 8.4 miles round-trip. But it goes along Exit Glacier and ends up at the Harding Icefield, a massive, spectacular 300-square-mile ice sheet that is the source of 38 named glaciers, including Exit. It covers a mountain range under ice several thousand feet thick.This view was taken along the Icefield Trail, looking back down to the foot of the glacier and Resurrection River. Shot it RAW and handheld, I used the Canon 7D MK II and 17-55 f/2.8 lens and the camera exif is ISO 200, f/11 @ 1/125 second at a focal length of 20mm.
