Approaching Pia Glacier by zodiac<\/p><\/div>\n

Pia Glacier is at the end of a relatively narrow fjord.  You can clearly see where prior glaciers have gouged the rocky walls of the fjord.  As we moved further towards the fjord’s cul-de-sac, we got our first glimpses of Pia Glacier.  It was a misty drizzly day, but the view was nonetheless beautiful!<\/p>\n

The Australis anchored and we were ferried by Zodiac to a lookout point very near the glacier’s base.  Our boat journey took us through a field of broken floating ice that had fallen from the glacier’s face — mostly small stuff, nothing too dangerous here. <\/p>\n
