This is a glacier that I photographed from a small plane on the south eastern slope of Mt. Denali in Alaska. With only the perspective of the mountain ridges, it is hard to visualize the size of the glaciers in the area. This particular glacier is over 30 miles long and starts about 18,000 feet up the side of Denali. As the glaciers flow, they drag rock material along their edges (called lateral moraines). When smaller glaciers join together, the edge rock material forms stripes down the middle of the newly formed larger glacier (called medial moraines) . Some of the cracks in the surface of the glacial ice are filled with crystal clear blue water and freshly frozen ice.

This is an aerial photograph that I took of a narrow canyon along the Na Pali coast on the north-western side of Kauai, Hawaii. Much of the Na Pali coastline is abrupt cliffs and canyons that quickly climb from sea-level up to 4,200 ft ridges. The canyon ridges are often covered with misty clouds. The area is one the wettest places in the world with the mountain top rainforests accumulating as much as 450 inches of rain a year.
