TruemorsWilliam and I stopped on the way back from Gulkana at Matanuska Glacier. This was a glacier melt lake relecting the Chugach mountains.

This is a runoff pond on top of of the tail of the glacier. The surround ice is covered with the moraine and glacier "flour". This actually insulates the ice and decreases melting. For more picture of the Matanuska glacier please visit my flicker account at www.flickr.com/photos/niyachen/ .
