Lochness Ice Monster

September 26, 2019 by Peter Nestler

Lochness Ice Monster - Sunset Image in Juneau Alaska of Ice Bergs

Is the Lochness monster real? I found a frozen version of him made out of glacier ice. It’s always fun to see the variety of shapes that icebergs take. Glacier icebergs are formed when the face of the glacier breaks off (calves). The size of these ice pieces can vary from absolutely massive (like in Greenland or Antarctica) to relatively tiny. Most of the icebergs that are found at the Mendenhall glacier are small.

In Scottish folklore, the LochNess (Loch Ness) Monster or Nessie is said to be a creature that inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is often described as large in size with a long neck and one or more humps protruding from the water. Popular interest and belief in the creature have varied since it was brought to worldwide attention in 1933. Is it real? Probably not. But the blue ice ones I found were definitely there!

These pieces from the Mendenhall Glacier were frozen in the lake for much of the winter and made for a lot of fun to climb on and explore. The sunset we had this night lit the clouds up with golden color. As a result, it really gave a great contrast to the blues in the ice.
