These were the pictures hiking up to the last ice of the summer on my Bryant Lake hike, which I had part 1 photos here.
NOTE: Click images for large views!
This first photo is the wide view of the last remaining ice on this hike. For scale, you can see my hiking buddy in the bottom right, its a LOT larger than it first seems.

So, here I was able to crawl in the awesome structure underneath which has all melted away. You can see the roof now dripping away inside. it probably only has another day or two left at these temperatures to completely melt away.
What the? how the heck did yiou get inside that giant snow bank? haha
Ha, lettme outta here! Actually, I had to be careful here since if I touched the snow too hard, it was possible to all collapse on me since the roof was only 6-12 inches thick still.
From inside, with some HDR shots again, you can see the cool melt holes that are giving an awesome window view to the mountain side. Pretty Epic spot, was VERY cool and refreshing in here as well.
Another cool HDR with the sun in contrast on the rock's wall with the ice still as well.
Here you can see many of the water streams and drops coming down from each of the cones. 10 minutes under here and I was soaked and refreshed nice and cold for the hike out.
So, time to crawl out and head home. Pretty cool place (in more than one way) which was totally unexpected to find, which is often the most memorable part of a mountain adventure.
As usual, please follow and I'd love to hear your comments
Very cool!! Super Yunky even!!
I scrolled through your blog real quick and MAN, you have done some awesome traveling! I love hiking and camping, so I am a little jealous!
Canada is such a big beautiful country during the summer time!
I camped and kayaked many years ago in Killarney Provincial Park in Ontario, it was so awesome!!
Anyway,
Thanks for sharing!!
Peace!!

Hi em3, thanks for the comment! Ya, my weekend adventures are quite fantastic and its awesome to live so close. Killarney is a great park, I was there many years ago!
Upvoted and RESTEEMED :]
great, thanks and that is much appreciated!
@unipsycho,
That's amazing! Actually I feel scary about that thing. Anyway this photography seems an incredible shot! Really like that!
Thanks for sharing your amazing experience with us!
Cheers & waiting for the next one~
Sweet hey! Ya, I love that photo as well. Just a hand held HDR photo but it sure turned out to get that awesome texture from the rocks and ice together. Thanks!
Woow man you found something awesome, i really like this pic
Thanks dim753, ya that is my favorite from under the ice as well, that and the one with the hole peeking out to the mountain sky.
Nice information and great post
Some truly amazing photography! I didn't even see your buddy in that first image until I zoomed in, the ice was way bigger than I initially thought.
Ya so true, it was a stitched panorama that one as well from about 8 photos since it was so much bigger than it first appears.
That looked a little dangerous!
Yup, a little for sure. I've ventured into much scarier holes and caverns and caves though. Caves of any sort are kind of my nemesis (since I just can't resist them in any way) in the wilderness, they always seem to draw me in and put me at risk. Luckily, its usually a calculated risk with precautions though. Often just getting to them is the sketchy part though, not the inside!
Amazing shots and beautiful landscapes @unipsycho! What camera did you use? You took those photos like a pro. I hope I can visit that place someday. Kudos to you!
Thanks so much george, ten of thousands of photos in the wilderness has helped teach me thing or two about capturing the moment. Love it as well! My camera for this was a samsung NX200 mirrorless.
Tours like that rock. Thanks for going there, so I can see the adventure.
Thanks for the comment, it was my pleasure to do so and glad you enjoyed it!
what amazing photos thank. you so much for sharing! What an incredible experience this must have been!!! I am a photographer currently in Costa Rica. No snow or ice to be seen! haha

Thanks sallybeth23! Yup, an memorable experience for sure! Fun place to be and to take photos at! Ya, no snow there for sure. Still haven't been to costa Rica, but on my list for travels for sure!
Hello friend @unipsycho , great post, I congratulate you, thanks for sharing
Must have been a risky endeavor to be underneath all that ice, but we're glad you took it, those pics are awesome!!! Up-voted and re-steemed.
Risk/reward is always something to think about. I did some basic tests and since the thickness was so thin, the risk was high for it to fall, but so thin as well, if it did fall, I could still get out and not be crushed. The ice was more like soft slush since it was melting out so fast. Ice caves are no joke though when getting underneath that kind of load. Fun times though!
Nice hiking lucky you, in my country where i do hike, it's too hot to to find a little bit ice
Interesting post, the picture is very good, I also like the place there. Eager to be able to set my foot there is truly remarkable. thank you for sharing
Thanks gavvett, glad you like the pics, it was an great place to find for sure!
Wow amazing pics from @unipsycho
I really like your pics and I think you have more creative camera eye..
What is your camera model?...
Wel done @unipsycho
Upvoted..
Cheers!..
Hi dinisanda, thanks so much! I use a Samsung NX200 for these, and many other days I use my Olympus Tough TG2. Both have been great and taken tens of thousands of photos!
wow, you were brave!! Very nice pictures! And exciting excursion!
ha, thanks annariley! I actually bumped the roof when I was exiting and got a good chunk of snow/ice cracking down on my head. Gave me a jolt reminder to BE careful in a place like this. Luckily with a hiking partner, you've got someone to help in case you ever really knock your noggin! HAHA
Hi! You are welcome. Oh dear! Glad you were okay and had a hiking partner with you. Yes, be very careful indeed. Watch out for that noggin! lol
I hope to vote and flow to help
