Amazing scenery! Having just looked at your photos I am now even more determined to go there. Simply beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing them.

I have just viewed you three recent postings and all are amazing. A real other-world feel to many of the ice-glacier pics. These are easily some of the best pics on WIR, and I generally prefer pics of people and buildings. You should check out the pics of Phil Douglis on this site as he was been to the same region and also does fantastics pics.
