How tall are some of the glaciers? Can you bring back any of the glacier ice?- Skye B.

Skye,I'm going to let you figure out how high the face of Russell Glacier is :-) ... in my journal there is a picture of me standing in front of the glacier. I am almost 6 feet tall with my boots on. So if you figure how many of me fit up the face of the glacier and multiply it by 6 feet, you'll have it. Let me know what you come up with. :-) The problem bringing it back is that I have no way to keep it frozen.
Thanks for your question. Tim
