Fireweed Over Bremner.

Fireweed glows in full blossom over the Bremner Glacier, Chugach Mountains, Wrangell-St. Elias NP, AK

After an incredible hike up to this spot, while taking a rest to recover from the ascent, I knew I'd have to take the camera out and shoot this scene. The flow of the glacier in the background, the vibrant flowers of the fireweed, and the grandeur of the scene were too much to pass up, regardless of how tired I was! The Iceberg Lake route includes crossing this glacier, and ascending up this ridge. It's steeper and further than it looks! This image was composed southward, staring out over the Chugach mountain range, across the Bremner Glacier, which splits into 2 lobes. We cross over the Tana lobe and have 2 or 3 days of hiking to get to the pickup point. Chugach Mountains, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska.
