It's the Miage glacier, near Mont Blanc. I walked a bit up the ridge you can see to the left. The surface of the glacier is entirely covered by boulders of various sizes, you can't see any ice, and then there's a flash of blue...the sun catching dark ice between boulders. Intense. And then there's the sound when you stop. There's a silence, and then....drip....drip...
Uncanny.
The only place you can see the ice is where the glacier ends at a lake.
If you're lucky, while you're looking at the snout a large piece of ice will suddenly creak, break off, and crash into the water. Well, I'm a bit of a glacier fan!
Anyways, thanks again for your diaries. Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
