    As I'm sitting at my kitchen table in southern Ohio, watching this, I am shaking my head in complete awe of your incredible life choices and experiences. You are living an absolutely amazing, substantive reality!!! The scenery is so expansive and other worldly. I am 63 with a lifetime of building skills, carpentry, log building, woodworking/furniture making, plumbing, electric, roofing, running equipment, saw milling, on and on. Would you please consider adopting me? I won't be any trouble at all. I can sleep on the floor with the dogs. Just a wonderful video.

    I LOVE how the food is always one of Eric's favourites. I know people suggest a cookbook all of the time and I have heard you reply that you don't usually follow recipes and use weird ingredients. I honesty think that if you just wrote down approximately what you use, include the weird ingredients that we would be unlikely to have, we would all buy it anyway. If for nothing else than to support you and to enjoy the awesome pictures that you would include!!!!

    The ice is called “the fingers of death”. It’s made when the salt from the sea hits the fresh water and super freezes it in long shards. When the glacier breaks it’s called calving.

    What an adventure, and tasting a glacier, now that's EPIC! Do yourselves a favor, invest in a pushpole and paddle for the boat. You can secure them out of the way along the gunwal. After years of guiding, I wouldn't leave the landing without these items. As handy as Eric is, you could probably make one 😉 but the telescopic aluminum ones are much easier to store away in the boat.

    As a mother of kids their age, I have to admit I get pretty tense on many of their adventures. When Ariel pointed out they were the only people out there and that meant they have to be responsible for themselves, it demonstrated to me that they’re on top of their game and keenly aware of the risks.

    That was an EPIC trip! I don't know if it was the camera setting but the view was like being right there with you. The beauty of your surroundings was majestic. Arielle was right, in that moment, you couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Also, you guys even upped picnic food to gourmet over the coals.

    I'm glad the dogs now have vests with handles, just in case. Interesting trip.

    I never got a chance while in Alaska to visit a glacier. They were so far south of where I was. I've heard they are beautiful. The blue aspect is because the ice is dead or in other words contains no oxygen which creates a blue color. I find it so interesting how all that works and happened over thousands and thousands of years.

    I just love the dogs' personalities. Bandit = hyper 7 year old boy. Bo = content 50 year old who just wants to spend time with his family.

    18:45 - So cool! I wonder if that fragmentation is due to the pressure the ice was under in the glacier. It reminds me of basalt columns which form hexagonal pillars when the magma cools and solidifies under intense pressures.

      Glaciologist here! This is a great example of candle ice. Candle ice can form on lakes like this one during the melt season and is indicative of ice that has begun to "rot". The columnar shape results from the hexagonal structure of ice crystals which are weakest at the edges. This allows for sun and water to melt the ice perpendicular to the surface along these borders resulting in ice "candles".

      No, it's just Candled Ice. Sometimes people call it Needle Ice. We get that on our lake too. It's pretty cool. Actually, this spring our hockey rink on the back yard turned into that as well, it's pretty fun to play with.

    I hope you have some dry bags with extra clothing and food..matches etc. you never know when an unexpected something happens. An overnight stay on a very cold beach maybe! Your adventures do get the heart pumping. Absolutely Gorgeous. I can only imagine what your eyes are seeing. As a kayaker, you learn to read the water very well. The more your out on the water the more comfortable you will be. But never let your guide down. I hope your ride back to your truck was uneventful. Be safe! Looking forward for you next video, they don’t come fast enough. 😃

    Love this video. I need to remember to watch your videos on days that I am not fasting. Love the French press coffee and cooking in a cast iron pot on an adventure to a glacier. Only you two can have such an amazing life. Thanks for sharing. Glacier blue is beautiful.
