| Caption : | As I reached central Dundas Bay the fog thickened and I noticed something odd along the shoreline, something white. As I brought the boat closer I thought, “It looks like ice! It is ice! An iceberg in Dundas Bay! In the summer!” And then I noticed the floating sticks and leaves, bits of fern leaves and fresh spruce needles, and I started to suspect what had happened. I switched on the depthfinder thermometer and as I cruised further into the bay the water temperature dropped steadily and the floating debris thickened. At the far end of Dundas Bay the river which drains from the Brady Icefield was in flood. It was a jökulhlaup! This is the Icelandic word for an 'outburst flooding event'. Abyss Lake was draining, and I got to see glacier ice in Dundas Bay! |
