On the 10th of July, we had to leave the cabin.  On the way back to Anchorage, we voted to detour back toward Seward to see the Exit Glacier.  Here is a view from the road.
 

The Exit Glacier is called the family glacier because it is so easy to get to.  This glacier recedes at a remarkable rate, something on the order of 2 feet per week.

Here is a closer view of the glacier.
 

And even closer
 

Looking down the river valley formed by this glacier.
 

Yes, the ice really is blue!
 

We could only imagine that the ice extends for hundreds of miles into the Kenai Ice Fields.
