The adventure started with the "sheerest descent in North America" (according to our petite female driver) straight down the almost verticle slope of a Moraine and then a chug up the ice on powerful "snow wheels".
The glacier is enormous, covering close to 400 square kilomters. It was a weird feeling getting out of the bus onto the glacier knowing that there were hundreds of feet of ice below us.
The water running off glaciers is the purest you can get - 75% of the world's fresh water originates from this source. Legend has it that drinking it can decrease your age by up to 20 years, so of course we all gulped greedily from the stream!

I remember this - I went with Trish, Keira and Granny. I borrowed Mike's hiking boots and he was not pleased with me!!
