Why are you reporting this puzzle?

It is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. There is nothing to understand the tremendous scale of this cave, but consider the fact that I was able to stand in the little crack between the two lighter pieces of ice seen in the upper middle of the photo. The cave itself is 4-5 floors high, and probably 30-40 meters deep. The ice is indeed blue. Rarely do you ever get a chance to get close to something like this, and it's completely overwhelming.

I can go on and on about the crazy weird types of ice and snow around there. The snow is embedded with the finest silt, and isn't slippery. The red parts are partially due to watermelon snow (an algae). There are solid blocks of ice embedded with rocks like chocolate chip cookies. There is extremely fine silt, which is like quicksand if you step in it. There are icebergs floating in the melt pool just to the right of the visible area. The concentration of amazing stuff per unit area is off the charts.

Location: Wedgemount Glacier just above Wedgemount Lake, Garibaldi Provincial Park, Beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

I agree with all of you. Pat, I'm astounded and... speechless even! I think you should go there Andy. The Columbia Ice Fields still exist. And I'd bet you could swim if you were in the water for 3 seconds, pulled out and put in a frostbite hyperbaric chamber, and didn't step in the quicksand first... Franca, Karleen, and Leanne, isn't it breathtaking?

I'm floored by the intensity of the colors. And the water seems so inviting (an instant heart attack from hypothermia, I'm sure!), I love the narrative - the photographer's enthusiasm is so contagious, I'm about ready to pack my bags for BC right now! Thanks Marilee.

Amazing..
