Float Plane over Juneau Ice Field, Alaska – Image 2509

The float plane flies over the Rhode Island-sized Juneau Ice Field. This massive junk of frozen real estate extends 100 miles north and south and another 45 miles east and west. The ice field spawns over 30 large glaciers with Juneau’s Mendenhall Glacier being its most famous prodigy. I shot this photo from the open window of another plane. This image illustrates pages 4-5 in my new book on Alaska called Alaska: A Photographic Excursion. Camera: Nikon F/5, Lens: 35-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor polarized, Film 35mm Velvia slide film-Mark Kelley
