Compressed Air

Compressed Air
The most attractive feature of the glacier is its deep blue color, caused by the refraction of light on pockets of tightly-compressed air and small particles of natural elements and algae. The range of color is most intense at the advancing edges, where hundreds of layers of ice can be seen stretching from the water surface, to the top 60 meters above.
