Sunset picture from our hotel on the water in Wrangell Alaska. It was a small but lovely little town in a beautiful part of south eastern Alaska.
In this part of Alaska people are not allowed to build houses on National Forest Lands, so they have become resourceful and build floating river homes and anchor them in the rivers. No matter where they build they have to either boat or float plane out to their house so it doesn't matter how or where they place them. This works well they say.
We took a boat ride and attempted to visit one of the MANY glaciers in the area of Wrangell but this glacier was growing so fast it had thrown off some huge ice bergs that were larger than boats and the river was totally blocked off. Remember the media gets all hyped up with their global warming garbage and they show glaciers calving off ice and tell you they are melting. A MELTING glacier turns into water NOT ICE falling off. This is a sign of very rapid glacier growth and movement. We moved around the ice bergs, photographing them and the had to turn back. Most large glaciers calve off into much larger bodies of water but this one was filling up this inland river to overflowing. It was quite a sight. Remember 90% of an ice berg is under water so that tells you just had large these were. They were the largest I have ever experienced.
