Holgate Glacier - Avalanche! | Alaska [ENG-GER]

(edited)

As l have been mentioning on my recent posts we have been heading to mainland for the past week, and today - l can finally show you Holgate glacier!

Wie ich in meinen letzten Beiträgen bereits erwähnt habe, sind wir seit der letzten Woche auf dem Weg zum Festland, und heute – kann ich euch endlich den Holgate-Gletscher zeigen!

Holgate Glacier:

This glacier is quite massive - it can be seen from two different bays this one which is the Kenai Fjords National Park or you can go into Holgate arm and have a different view of the same glacier which is quite fascinating.

Dieser Gletscher ist wirklich gewaltig – man kann ihn von zwei verschiedenen Buchten aus sehen: einmal von hier aus, dem Kenai Fjords Nationalpark, oder man fährt in den Holgate Arm und bekommt eine ganz andere Perspektive auf denselben Gletscher, was wirklich faszinierend ist.

We came pretty close to the glacier about 1nm away (about 2km). We didn't go any closer as we have had past experience and today we would also find out why...

Wir sind dem Gletscher ziemlich nahe gekommen – etwa 1 Seemeile (ca. 2 Kilometer) entfernt. Noch näher sind wir nicht herangefahren, denn wir haben bereits Erfahrungen aus der Vergangenheit… und heute würden wir auch herausfinden, warum.

We were about to leave and suddenly the entire glacier rumbled... an avalanche - we all ran out trying to take pictures and videos and unfortunately l landed to drone already and couldn't get drone pictures - however this is what we got...

Wir wollten gerade losfahren, als plötzlich der ganze Gletscher zu dröhnen begann... eine Lawine! Wir sind alle rausgestürmt, um Fotos und Videos zu machen – aber leider hatte ich meine Drohne schon gelandet und konnte keine Luftaufnahmen mehr machen. Trotzdem, das hier ist das, was wir einfangen konnten...

This rumble lasted maybe for 30 seconds before subsiding into a low hum - but still an amazing sight to see - and that is exactly why we didn't go closer to the glacier!

Dieses Grollen dauerte vielleicht 30 Sekunden, bevor es in ein leises Brummen überging – aber trotzdem ein absolut faszinierendes Schauspiel! Und genau deshalb sind wir nicht noch näher an den Gletscher herangefahren!

After that, we headed out of the sound dodging small pieces of ice as it could easily damage our boat especially bigger ones!

Danach verließen wir die Bucht und wichen kleinen Eisschollen aus – denn selbst diese könnten unser Boot leicht beschädigen, vor allem die größeren!
