Glaciers in volcanic areas like Iceland aren't as pristine as the one at Lake Louise, for instance, and they're receding, as are ours, but people like my intrepid photographer are still climbing them.
Top, the glacier. Above, Dick at the glacier. Note the ice axe.
Dick's feet with crampons on.
Below, the guide demonstrates the use of ice axe and crampons. The ice axe is probably not to be used as demonstrated by the above-mentioned intrepid photographer.

Oh my, 'not as pristine' might be the understatement of the year! I bet it was still cold though.
So nice to see a photo of Dick. He sure is adventurous. I don't think I'd do that climb either. Hugs to you and a big pat for darling Lindy. Jo xxx
Yup! That's exactly what Art would do alright. Looks like Dick was having a great time.
Brrrrrrrr. I'm with you, on the bus!
p.s. My son the intrepid camper went CAMPING this weekend outside of REGINA. My goodness!
Me too, on the bus while John goes climbing.
Great shots. What a fantastic place to explore. I wouldn't trust my balance at this point in my life either.
Wonderful experience.
Oh, Iceland is on my must-visit list! Lovely shots.
Wow, all I can say is WOW!!!
