Lamplugh Glacier
A tidewater glacier with deep blue ice, where tour boats can stop close by; the best spot for photographing blue ice.
Lamplugh Glacier lies across from the mouth of Johns Hopkins Inlet. Its ice cliffs are about 50 m high and 1.5 km wide, and the blue ice layers within are distinct. Chunks of broken ice often drift in front of it. Full-day tour boats usually stop here to view it, and cruise ships pass by as well. The water near the ice cliffs is cold and the deck is windy, so bring a windproof jacket.
