This shows the size of the boulders a little better. Another cool thing we got to do on the glacier was drink some of the water that was flowing just under the ice. The ice looks dirty on top but it is crystal clear underneath. The tour guides estimated that the water we were drinking was frozen prior to the year 1700 and prior to the industrial revolution which brought so many pollutants to the air and water. This means it was really good water! Of course, there is probably a three hundred year old bear terd thawing in the ice right above where we were drinking, but oh well. Another fascinating fact a tour guide told us was how to catch a polar bear.

First of all you chop or drill a large hole in the ice. Then you go to the store and buy a bag full of peas, not frozen or canned peas, they have to be fresh. You then take the peas and line the egdes of the hole with the peas. Then you wait very patiently. Finally when the polar bear comes to take a pea you kick him in the icehole! ;)
