We went on a "trek" to the ice caves.


The point in the distances is our destination. We estimate 2.5 miles across the ice.


The scenery was wonderful. This shot is taken from the shoreline. The mounds are push ice and drifted snow with a mixture of beach sand.


The trekers on the trip out.


The view from inside one of the caves looking north, northwest.


The photo above was shot from a point just behind where my treking partner is standing in this photo.


An ice curtian. The photo doesn't do it justice.


The largest cave we venture into.


Ice was the feature of the day. Ice in all forms and sizes. These were hanging from one of the ceilings.


More of the wonderful ice formations.


On the trek back we found this snow angel.
