Mouth of the Matanuska Glacier - Alaska

Mouth of the Matanuska Glacier - Alaska

This part of the glacier is hidden behind ice-walls, but crossing that wall totally worth it. Matanuska is a 4 miles wide glacier, flowing just about a foot per day.

Last summer, we had an awesome week in Alaska. Backpacking around Denali Park and ice-climbing these glaciers was an epic experience. Our secret plan of 'fire-and-ice' could not happen though.

That shirtless guy is actually my friend Emil before jumping into the icy-water !!
and of course the last part of the previous sentence is a lie.

Mono Lake Sunrise

Mono Lake Sunrise

"It lies in a lifeless, treeless, hideous desert,"

Mark Twain wrote in his 1872 travelogue, Roughing It. "This solemn, silent, sailless sea--this lonely tenant of the loneliest spot on earth--is little graced with the picturesque."

Once water enters this lake, which is actually a volcanic basin, there is no way out other than evaporation. According to scientists, for at least 760,000 years Mono Lake has been helping to develop recently discovered new form of life that lives in arsenic.

It was a freezing cold morning but the sunrise was majestic. An awesome snowboarding runs were to follow the day :)

Death Valley - Bad Water

Death Valley - Bad Water

282 feet below sea level there is this endless desert of salt, devil's gulf course, seasonal creeks, flash flood, and rocks sometimes in summer reaching up to 98 degrees centigrade ( yes Centigrade not Fahrenheit ! ) , Death Valley is hell of a unique place to be.
