August is cool in Alaska

This photo was taken from a float plane flying near Juneau during an Alaskan cruise excursion that Steve DePugh and his wife, Dana, took in August. “I have no idea what the name of the glacier was; they have so many up there,” said DePugh, who lives in Troy, Ohio. “They called it a ‘temperate glacier,’ where the ice is barely frozen, so it moves pretty well.”
