2006-08-13 on the Alaskan Highway - ALCAN 094

Worthington Glacier State Park - We stopped at Worthington Glacier State Park. This is a glacier near the road that you can walk right up to. It's the most surreal blue! It seems the color blue gets more intense as air is forced out of the ice under pressure. This glacier can move as much as 5 to 8 feet in a month! They've done testing on this glacier by boring holes into it and inserting some type of camera. They've found that the bottom of the glacier moves at about 5 feet per month while the top of it moves about 8 feet per month.
