Glaciers are cool. (Get the pun??)

Worthington Glacier - 30 miles outside of Valdez, Alaska.

Walking on a glacier in flip flops is a bad idea. Even if they are Chacos and have Vibram soles. Just so you know for future reference.

Nature Deficit Disorder

"Environmentalism needs to be focused not only on preserving nature but also on getting people into it. If we’re divorced from nature, then there’s simply no constituency for it. I also profoundly believe that a dose of nature is the best way to gain some perspective. You can think you’re God’s gift to the world, but you’ll still end up getting blisters on a hike if you’re not careful, or falling out of your raft in the rapids. Nature is very good at bringing us back to Earth. Let’s acknowledge that getting kids awed by nature is as important as getting them reading."
- Nicholas Kristof

Seriously.
