Images of the Blue Glacier
The images below were taken during the summer of 1982 on and around the Blue Glacier in Olympic National Park. During an expedition in the summer of 2022 I will return to the glacier forty year to the week to recreate these images. The resulting pairs of images will matted and framed together providing a visual record of the changes to the glacier over the intervening four decades.
