This was a day where "Arctic
distances" were very much in evidence. When we woke
up aboard the boat this glacier seemed very close to
us. We went ashore by zodiac and it got no closer,
we then walked for half an hour along the lateral
moraine and it got no closer, nearly an hour later
it still looked the same distance away except by
this time we seemed to have traversed enough lateral
moraine to build a small country from. I didn't
think there was this much gravel and small stones in
the whole world.
