Small ice floes littered Glacier Bay below the imposing bulk of Margerie Glacier. This steady (not retreating nor advancing in the net) ice mass flows just 21 miles off 12,860-foot Mt. Root. The visible height of these ice cliffs was about 250 feet, with another 100 feet of underwater ice bringing the total waterfront glacial depth to 350 feet. This is a renowned area for watching big ice-calving events, though only a few relatively narrow chunks fell off while we were there.
