White sure is my favorite color in the winter. How about yours?

Totally obsessed with how adorable penguins are when they walk.

Glacial lakes, such as Laguna Esmerelda in southern Argentina, appear milky blue or green because of “rock flour.” Silt is created underneath the surface of a glacier as it moves over rock. That sediment is super fine so it remains suspended in meltwater giving it a milky quality.

Tierra Del Fuego: I might be in love. Mountains and ocean all at once!

Marble Canyon could have been flooded if it wasn’t for public outcry and the the dedicated work of environmentalists, including the @SierraClub, who stopped Marble Canyon Dam. Floating through this incredible place left me feeling beyond grateful for those who fought development and environmental destruction so I could see this place. Let places like this be reminders to keep fighting for our natural world so future generations can see what we have, I promise they will be grateful.

Lees ferry marks the one place in hundreds of miles where one can easily reach the Colorado River from both sides, and thus this is where people historically crossed the mighty Colorado via a boat ferry operated by John Doyle Lee. Today a bridge has replaced the ferry, but this location lives on as the launch point for boaters embarking on trips down the grand canyon. Not a bad view down stream at Marble Canyon eh?
