Walk with me to the edges of exit glacier, soon we will have to leave this place and return to the confines of reality. It is an easy walk mostly until the end when you have to climb a bit over some gray rocks. You can see that this glacier has receded pretty far from where you could safely walk up to it. Now there is a barrier to keep you from the ice. This glacier is quiet in its melting, more of a slow day to day wear. You can feel the cold of the ancient compressed ice as you get closer. That cold draws you in to examine the blue surface of it with its ripples and cuts that pattern the ice. They glow as the sun hits them, like a thousand jewels.
