One of the glaciers (3/10)

this is several miles down the road and it is a slightly better picture of one of the glaciers, roughly in the middle of the frame. There is still haze from the smoke, but the patches of snow can be seen. The snow is still there, even after several weeks of our normal late-summer heat, with temperatures reaching into the 90’s and triple digits daily. Because of the terrain of the mountains and their altitude, the ice only melts very slowly. By January, most of these mountains will be snow-covered.
