Day 3 - Marjorie Glacier

So, there is a glacier in Glacier Bay called the Marjorie Glacier. It does this thing called calving, which means that these chunks of ice fall off of it to form icebergs. It is the most incredible "nature" thing I have ever seen. These huge chunks of ice fall off the glacier into the ocean with this amazing roaring sound. It sounds like thunder. It's indescribable. We got a few videos of it, but none of them turned out very well. But, I found this video that you can check out if you are interested in seeing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az6AIBnBkzQ
