This is along-side the "Exit Glacier"--the only glacier you can access with a car and a short hike. You can, literally, walk up to the face of it. It, like all the others, is now melting and shrinking....
The gorge you see on the right is where the Glacier once flowed over, when it was still bigger and wider. This was gouged out by the sheer weight of the ice and the boulders and rocks a glacier drags along on it's underside as it makes it's way to the sea.
