Took a day to go exploring with some friends up at the ice caves in Byron Glacier near Whittier, Alaska. I’ve lived in Alaska my whole life, but I’ve never tired of the epic blocks of ice. They’re absolutely stunning and if you haven’t had the opportunity to explore the inside of one yet, I highly recommend it!
