These are photos of the Johns Hopkins Glacier, which was named after Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland in 1893 by Harry Fielding Reid, a groundbreaking glaciologist (or should that be "ice breaking") and Johns Hopkins alum. It is one of over 35 glaciers in Glacier National Park in Alaska. Johns Hopkins is one of a few tidewater glaciers in the park. Most are at high altitudes.
The first photos was taken as we approached the Glacier form the south (looking north). The second is the view looking southwest directly at the glacier's face and the valley through which it slowly travels, which curves to the right/west. We estimated the face to be over 150 ft tall. It probably extends at least twice that deep blow the water line.
