Ice detail, Matanuska Glacier, Alaska.  While still lodging in Anchorage, AK, we drove our rental car to Matanuska Glacier.  There are tour operators that take people on hikes on this Glacier.  In late July when we went, the weather was comfortable for the hike.  You do need to wear fitting boot spikes and for someone doing it for the first time, definitely a guided hike is the way to go.  It was a great experience for the family.  From a photographic perspective, the ice was pretty dirty with brown dirt on top.  For me, it did not appeal photographically and I got very few keepers.  This one is from a clean section showing ice detail on the glacier.  I like the diagonal ridges.  Mainly an abstract of graphical lines, without a sense of place.  Nikon D700 with Nikkor 24-120mm f4.
