About midway through
our trip, and at the farthest point east of our travel route, we spent a morning
with the icebergs in a saltwater lagoon.
An iceberg is a huge piece of freshwater ice that has broken off of a
glacier and is floating free in salt water.
This day also had the worst weather of the whole trip. It was drizzling and was cold enough to wear
gloves. Luckily, my camera survived getting
a bit wet. This has not been the case
with one of my previous cameras.
Our group, decked out
in all of our rain gear, boarded a duck, which is an amphibious vehicle that was
developed by the US military in WWII and the Korean War. It can travel over land and in the water.
Here we are with our duck tour guide, a woman
from Spain.
In spite of the cold and the rain, it was a magical time on the water with these blue giants.
After our time on
the lagoon, we went across the highway to wander among the icebergs that had
washed up on a black sand beach.
